    hmmm since it started right after the update, roll back first. Device Manager > Display adapters > right-click your GPU > Properties > Driver > Roll Back Driver. if teh button is greyed out, download the previous package from teh NVIDIA support page and install that instead. worked for me anyway 🤷

    Accepted solution

    That pattern (black screen, then "display driver stopped resopnding and has recovered") is Windows TDR: teh GPU didnt answer within the timeout so Windows reset the driver. Open Event Viewer > Windows Logs > System and look for Event ID 4101 from Display or nvlddmkm/amdkmdag/igfx. The timestamps tell u if it lines up with your symptom.
