I have not tryed this with 10 but you could try right clicking the exe file and go to properties and then compatibility and run in compatibility mode for 8.1.

i tryed that, same error :/

Must be something else.
Because I'm using 337.94 right now, and that's even older.
You don't need compatibility options - revert those.
Instead, use Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode (but found out it works pretty well in normal mode, too).

Or manually, Win+Pause:Advanced system settings:Hardwareevice installation settings:
Never install driver software from Windows Update. Checkbox:unchecked.
Then uninstall the current driver and reboot [still I would recommend DDU automatic (and safer) method]

Hey man thank you so much, it worked perfectly :)!
