For some reason,the latest Nvidia driver shows up as " Important Update." I've never seen that before. Video drivers etc. always showed as "optional updates". Is there some reason this driver is important? Is it somehow important to the stability of Win. 7? I'm not really concerned guys, I'm just curious. Thanks all..take care...
NV plugged quite a lot of security vulnerabilities this year so MS might feel that they need to push the latest driver as "important" as it removes several critical security issues.
never let Microsoft install any driver update or hardware device update from Windows Update on any Windows OS. they can sometimes break customized features that were originally designed to work for specific PCs. follow Woody's advice from here: https://www.askwoody.com/ms-defcon-system/ as for Nvidia drivers, obtain new versions of them directly from the nVidia web site.
