Watch out for Nvidia GSOD on Build 17763.107

I just converted my production PC from the plain-vanilla 1809 release to Insider Preview with updates, drivers and hotfixes only, because that's apparently how we keep up-to-date on MS fixes until a new blessed 1809 release finally emerges. So I just updated my Nvidia GeForce Driver to 416.81 and as it was finishing up the install, it threw a GSOD with Exception_not-handled as the stopcode and the nvidia driver as the culprit. I've been through this before, and believe it's a bug with the installer not with the driver. When the machine reboots, the new driver works just fine. Also Reliability Monitor shows that the reboot is coming from a bugcheck and it doesn't get charged against the reliability index. Weird, but benign as far as I can tell.



Just a heads up.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. How would turning off fast boot affect the conclusion of the Nvidia installer program? I can see it having an impact at machine startup, but I'm a little puzzled as to how it would affect the behavior of a program when the OS is already up and running. Please explain.
And FYI, I checked my Asrock FastBoot utility on this machine (allows you to programmatically set status without having to boot into BIOS) and I see it's already turned off:



I'm pretty sure that means it's not a factor here anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion nevertheless.
