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".
