Hello, recently I upgraded to Windows 10 from 7, and it's nice so far, but there's one glaring issue that's hampering my enjoyment significantly. Every time I turn the computer on, Windows disables my GPU with error code 43. I can tell this has happened because only one of my two monitors will be functioning. If I then go to device manager, I can select the GPU and pick 'disable' and then 'enable' and it'll come back on and function just fine. Device Manager also lists my drivers as the previous version, instead of the current one, even if I have literally just installed the new drivers and gone to device manager to check.

Here's a list of things I've tried to solve the problem that haven't worked:
-- Reinstalling the new drivers
- Disabling the GPU, reinstalling the new drivers
- Disabling the GPU, uninstalling it from my PC, then reinstalling it (including the drivers)
- Taking the infernal thing out of my computer, uninstalling it from safe mode, putting it back in, reinstalling it

It's a Nvidia GTX 960, if that matters. There is no physical problem with the graphics card, it heats up and cools down just fine and my computer detects that it is there.
 
I used DDU to remove everything, then reinstalled it all from scratch including Geforce Experience, and now it says I have the current driver version in both device manager and geforce experience. The trouble is, that didn't change anything, I've still got the same problem.
