I have just checked for updates on my IP beta W10 and Nvidia display drivers are ready to install. There seems to be no option to reject them. Trouble is, this pc is running its graphics off the Athlon 3000G processor. What is Microsoft up to?
My guess is that somewhere in the system there is a reference to Nvidia
I appreciate it is the Insider Preview Beta and one must expect bugs, but I cannot believe that it offers a Nvidia update if there is NO reference whatsoever to Nvidia anywhere in the system, that is checked by the update agent to decide which drivers are offered.
Were it to be me I would search - for Nvidia - and see what is shown .
I think I have solved the mystery, The board and processor are new, Athlon 3000G and Asrock A320M-HDV. My monitor runs at 2560 x 1440 and there is no information as to whether the resolution is possible from the AMD website. I initially set up the system with a Nvidia graphics card which was known to support the resolution. I wanted to fit an add on card with USB3 19 pin connections for the external USB3 on the case, in addition to the one on the motherboard which I was already using. Of course, the only PCIE port on the motherboard was too short to fit the add on card, so I removed the graphics card to utilise the longer PCIE port. The built in graphics turned out to be fine with the monitor.
I realised what was happening with the Nvidia drivers as soon as I looked in control panel for installed programs, now the Nvidia has been uninstalled, I am unlikely to get any more offered, unless they are AMD ones.

I thought it had to be something along those lines, as I said
