    Optional update in windows update is giving me a blue screen.


    The update is called:
    nvidia - Graphics adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Other hardware - NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M.
    After installing it, whenever my laptop tries to use the Nvidia card, I get a blue screen and the system restarts.
    I looked in installed updates to uninstall it, and it is not there.
    I did a system restore to four days before I installed it, and I still get the same effect. Lastly, I installed some older nvidia drivers that used to work using the clean install option, and I still have this problem.

    It looks as though the update changed something in nvlddmkm.sys, and for some reason, it wasn't changed back when I did the system restore. I have no idea how to go about fixing it.
