    im literally losing my mind here every time i open the NVIDIA app it asks which branch i want and i click whichever is selected. Now Im doing seriuos machine learning experiments with deadlines and i care more about stability than the newest game fixes. Is the slower branch genuinely more tested, or is it the same driver with a different label? i would also like to know if switcihng branches is painful, or if it is just a matter of downloading a different package and installing it cleanly. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    ok so have u checked your studio-driver settings?? ;) mine were reset after an update worked for me anyway 🤷

    nothing is more permanent than a temporary workaround

    been there man dont hop branches every week. pick one, note teh version, and only change when smth you need is fixed or added. frequent switching makes troubleshooting harder. worked for me anyway 🤷

    been there man switching branches is easy: download teh other package from the NVIDIA support page and install it with the clean install option (or DDU if u wanna be thorough). Your apps dont need reinstalling. good luck man!
