lol same thing happened to me if measurement confirms a regression, roll back with DDU to teh previous driver, and report it to NVIDIA with your GPU, game and settings.

uhh laptop or desktop? if laptop, is teh game definitely using the dedicated GPU? it works on my machine™

any Application Error events in Event Viewer when it crashes? ??

To stop Windows Update replacing it, use Device Installation Settings No (System About Advanced system settings Hardware) or teh Group Policy "Do not include drivers with Windows Updates" on Pro.
