Is anyone else sick of Microsoft hitting us with NVIDIA beta drivers with the last couple of Insider releases
Coincidentally I noticed some NVidia related weird stuff just now, in build 17004. Making preparations for screenshots for a tutorial I just now exported all drivers from current setup, to be "injected" to build 17004 ISO to make reinstall and especially post install update process faster. Was shocked to see the size of the folder I exported drivers to:
Notice that folder only contains exported drivers, being emptied before the process and used only for this purpose, store exported drivers.
Thought I had made a mistake, deleted the target folder and tried again, this time setting the export cmdlet in a variable, then when done getting a list of exported drivers using that variable. Everything else is as it should, but look at the amount of NVidia entries:
And, the weirdest thing is that those are all exactly the same version!
I wiped the HDD of this laptop early Tuesday and restored a recent Macrium image made a day before my old laptop died two weeks or so ago, but as that image was made from Windows in Skippy Fast ring and not clean installed since early summer, each successive upgrade has added some NVidia stuff.

Pleased you spotted this also Kari. Thing is the NVIDIA WHQL drivers run fine with the last couple of Windows builds.
However first I got delivered 387.76 then on this latest Windowes build 387.78.
Why! when NVIDIA version 385.69 WHQL works fine.
