Question Windows update kills my Graphics card is the old card the problem?

[Rob Everhart]

Ok I'm new here this is my story I'm sure you heard my problem many times. Windows auto update, nvidia file just kills my card. It is a Zotac 3060. I cannot get around it' My question is if I get a new Nvidia 3070 TI will this still happen or is this not the cards fault. Please help, and thanks all. I have denied permission to that card with id from device manager in gpedit.msc before i connect lan and it will let me run computer but won't game. I have all the normal things done don't download drivers with updates. as soon as you remove block instantly installs new driver. I downloaded the driver for my card from Zotac site put it on a thumb drive unhooked lan removed block installed and gone. It was still the same update I believe.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

Use DDU to remove all GPU drivers(intel, AMD and Nvidia) in Safe Mode, then manually install the latest GPU driver sourced from Nvidia's support site, in an elevated command, i.e, Right click installer>Run as Administrator.

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

If I uninstall all drivers won't my screen go black again. I read about DDU but wasn't sure I could use it in this situation.
