Look again. You may have just received an "update" to 353.30.

Windows Update insists on giving you the latest WHQL drivers. At the moment, all newer ones than 353.30 are betas (non-WHQL).

I'm not sure that this works to block the re-install of the older drivers, but I'm giving it a try:

How to block automatic reinstall of a driver or update from Windows - Microsoft Community

Basic procedure:

Download the application on the page.

Uninstall the 353.30 drivers.

Run the application. (It should detect the 353.30 drivers as available.) Hide the unwanted download.

Install the nVidia drivers that you prefer.

I'd like MS to restore the ability to hide updates in the released version of Win10, like for the past few Windows versions, but I'm not hopeful. It's damnably annoying.

I do not need to look again, but you do

No insult was intended.

I checked the Microsoft Update archive before posting, and I failed to spot 353.50. Ditto at Visual Computing Leadership from NVIDIA.

If I've successfully blocked a real update, that'll be embarrassing.

Windows update also gave me 353.50, but interestingly enough it isn't in the drivers section of the GeForce site yet and there isn't a post about it on the GeForce Forums yet (from Nvidia I mean, 1 guy posted about his mouse cursor being funky but that is all )

Edit: Found a copy of the 353.50 driver. Won't install for me. Says "Compatible Hardware Not Found", even though GTX 970 is listed in the device list. Weird.

Same here, but with a Titan X. The obvious idea is that the 353.50 release doesn't support Maxwell cards. It may even be correct.

I wonder whether 10240 will be insistent on installing the latest WHQL driver over newer beta drivers. 10166 gave me trouble with that.
