Nvidia Driver

I'm a bit confused. I have the latest Nvidia driver installed but WU has come up today telling me to install Nvidia driver update for Nvidia High Definition Audio. At 264Mb I'm not sure if this is the video driver or for audio. I don't use their audio anyway as I have a good sound card.

Just hide it. I have the same problem and, as I have no enhanced audio add-ons, I have no need for it. Your sound will be fine, but average quality, without it, on the Windows defaults. I also found it was installed in the "Programs and Settings". I removed it from there, as well.

Yea I dont need it since I have a high end sound card that supports 116dB.

I get the same thing and I ignore it.
Just a useless update IMO.

I am using mostly W10 native drivers even for my multi-monitor setup.

When I install Win10 I usually get the driver for my video card in a few minutes after booting up. But this last time I installed them manually. Works fine and I didn't perform the update mentioned by the OP.

Mine was still automatic after the update to the last build. I haven't manually installed 9879 yet but I already have the ISO ready. Just waiting for a reason to do a reinstall. So far it's ok.

I've just been using Windows 8.1 versions of my drivers.

I doubt there will be any true Win10 drivers until next year.

Yeah. No hardware manufacturer will waste their time re-writing their drivers for a preview version of an OS. Right now, all drivers are hit or miss for Win 10.
