- The screen may go blank when you try to upgrade the video driver
- The computer stops responding, and you receive a "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error message. You can restart the computer only by pressing the computer's power button
- The computer stops responding or restarts unexpectedly when you play video games or perform desktop operations
- The Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) stops responding when the computer is under heavy load or when very little memory is available. This problem prevents diagnostics from working
- The screen goes blank after an external display device that is connected to the computer is turned off. For example, this problem may occur when a projector is turned off during a presentation
- A computer that has NVIDIA G80 series graphic drivers installed stops responding

How do you rate something like this?
I decided that since there are no warnings NOT to install this I have to penalize Microsoft for not releasing more fixes to problems in Windows Update.
If it says "your system does not.. " and it won't install it's probable you don't actually need it though that is just an assumption based on fixes installed in previous Windows versions. I highly recommend NOT installing anything unless you detect a problem and even then read the Release Notes.

i searched everywhere but couldn't find a workaround.
