Link says Win7, my download was Win10.
These drivers do not fix the boot to black screen for me. In fact, they may be worse then the previous 381.65 drivers. I now have to unplug and replug the HDMI cable to get the image. Also, this driver and the previous 381.65 defaulted to
Output Color Format: YCbCr???
Output Color Depth: 12 bit
I have to click the, Use Nvidia Color Settings, and set RGB, 8 bit.
My monitor is a Samsung UN48JS9000. Didn't have any issues at all, till these drivers and the new "Windows 10 Creators Update".

Good that they're addressing some of the issues.
Unfortunately for me, this does nothing to fix the issues with HDR either being enabled permanently (with no configuration options) or disabled completely.

I haven't had any problems with the previous driver. Do I need this?

I had the same issue with HDR, ME:A HDR no longer worked, re-installing 378.92 fixed it.
Need to wait for a better driver and games have to turn on the HDR by themselves like with the old river

if you don't use latest insider (wich crash and sometime doesn't boot with previous driver) and/or content creator... then you can live without this driver
(it's just an hotfix, not a real new driver)
unless that it make your day solving a bunch of issues.

I do have the creators update (fresh windoze install btw) and no issues with previous driver.

I was DEFINITELY a part of this issue.
I'm in the middle of trying to diagnose a system issue so that really made me edgy.
