359.06 is now available. Info indicates there were no fixes for windows 10, other than some game updates.
Looks like there was a hotfix driver (359.12) released for notebooks with a Geforce GTX860M GPU.

The amount of driver updates on here seems excessive. Seems Nvidia puts out new drivers everytime the wind changes. My old 2008 laptop with 7 year old drivers 9800 GTX still run some modern games ok (albeit directx 9). My other 2011 laptop running AMD 6970m with drivers not updated in 4 years still runs modern games (ok not at gazillion fps but they still run - directx 9 and 10). I now have a desktop with 980 ti, I think the drivers are early September (pre-installed by pc builder/manufacturer) which I hope will also last years.
There seems to be an over-emphasis in updating drivers. Surely if a game desperately requires the latest drivers then we / or the game maker should just be able to dump a DLL file in the games directory to take advantage of. So then we can keep the integrity of the existing driver and not have to install entirely new ones (which seems a bit like playing Russian Roulette to me). I just wouldn't want to run the risk of a perfectly functioning system by installing new drivers just to squeeze an 1 or 2 fps to play a recent game.
Thankfully Windows 10 hasn't forced an auto update of the existing Nvidia driver on my system as yet. Am I right to assume it won't as Nvidia will now only allow updates if you've got GFE?
