Windows/NVidia's forced update screws up my Graphics Card - for the third time

felipejoys (71)in #technology • 6 years ago (edited)

This is bullshit. Despite declining them in every possible way, their shit drivers keep coming.

Last year I got locked out from YouTube, browser 3D acceleration and gaming in general because some glitchy driver messed up with my hardware really badly. This happened around three months ago again. I thought it would have been the last time.

But guess what! Even though I've completely blocked every automatic update option through both Windows Update and the GeForce Experience, here it is again! My video driver just got updated to the latest version and what do you know, I can't play anything anymore.

You know how they say companies can go as far as sabotaging old products so their customers buy the latest gadgets and rigs? It's completely true and it makes me rage. And yes, I'm sure this is it, since I've solved it twice in the past.

Luckily for me, the newest Steam Play update has over 1000 games added to the perfectly stable and easy to run list, so fuck you Microsoft and fuck you NVidia.

Does it get any more frustrating? I'm on Windows 7 now, I couldn't fix this on W10. Such garbage.
