    ok so genuine question about update philosophy, my PC is stable on an old studio branch... the new Quadro GeForce Graphics Driver lists fixes that dont really affect me... do you update anyway for security and compatibility, or do you only update when a game or app needs it? i mostly do everyday work. i am curious how other people handle this, especially anyone who depends on their PC for work and cannot afford a broekn evening. what am i doing wrong??

    For competitive games, stability matters more than the newest game optimizations. If theres a separate stable/studio/recommended branch, thats usually teh better fit. hope that helps :)

    been there man keep a short log of what driver youre on and when you changed it (pnputil /enum-drivers shows installed packages and dates). When something breaks later, u'll know if the timing matches.

    yeahhh driver updates do sometimes include security fixes, sooo I wouldnt stay on a very old version forever... but waiting a week or two after release to see if a hotfix appears is perfectly reasonable. worked for me anyway 🤷
