Download: GeForce 397.55 hotfix driver
Nvidia issued a hotfix driver, GeForce 397.55 are basically the same as the previous released version, with a small number of additional targeted fixes. These fixes (and many more) will be incorporated into the next official driver release, at which time the Hotfix driver will be taken down.
Game Ready Drivers provide the best possible gaming experience for all major new releases, including Virtual Reality games. Prior to a new title launching, our driver team is working up until the last minute to ensure every performance tweak and bug fix is included for the best gameplay on day-1. As mentioned, Nvidia with this release officially halts support for 32-bit windows, as well as Fermi based graphics cards like GeForce GTX 480 and similar. We have a discussion thread open on this driver here in our Nvidia driver discussion forums.
This is GeForce Hot Fix driver version 397.55 that addresses the following
- After driver installation, Device Manager may report Code 43 error on a few GTX 1060 cards models.
- Netflix playback may occasionally stutter.
- Added support for Microsoft Surface Book notebooks.
- Windows 10: Driver may get removed after PC has been left idle for extended period of time.
It can be downloaded here.

It also applies to Windows 7 and 8, would have expected it to be a problem with Windows 10's default settings about driver updates but nope.
The fix applies to Windows 7/8 also but the side effect was different.

What does this even mean?
"Windows 10: Driver may get removed after PC has been left idle for an extended period of time."
I guess Windows idle system optimizer could remove the driver and install older.

It means if you let your system idle for hrs it might have problems running any 3d GPU load.
You have to restart, there were a few reports of driver issues on this site after long runtimes.

How does one know they were affected? Will it be missing from my control panel "Programs" for example. I'll need to keep an eye on this.
