I have no interest in installing them.
The driver that is in the main drive is 430.39 which is later that this 391.35 driver and I didn't have any issue that I remember installing that years ago.
BTW; I did try that 'Test Mode", but that didn't work, driver signing still failed. When I researched this, 4 methods were suppose to work; Group Policy didn't have the entry to change listed, WinRE I didn't try, nor did I with pressing F8 during boot and those 2 bcdedit.exe command lines. Here is the instructions I found;
Disable Code Signing for Device Drivers using Group Policy
If you find the aforementioned method difficult, you can also disable driver signature enforcement using Group Policy. Follow the steps below to get rid of error code 52:
1. Open the Group Policy editor by typing in “gpedit.msc” in the Run Command box.
2. Go to the following from the left pane:
Local Computer Policy >> User Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> System >> Driver Installation
Double-click the policy “Code signing for driver packages.”
4. Disable the policy.
Select the “Disabled” radio button, then click Apply and Ok.
Please note that this method may or may not work with Windows 10 or Windows 11. If this doesn’t work, you should follow the method given above earlier which surely works.
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement using Command Prompt
Microsoft gives users the option to disable driver signature enforcement. If you disable this option, Windows will accept all drivers installed in the system, whether they are signed by Microsoft or not verified.
To disable driver signature enforcement, follow the steps below:
Launch an elevated Command Prompt. Run the following commands one after the other:
bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
You will need to restart your system after successfully running the commands.
If you see the following error when running the cmdlets above, then you must try disabling the driver signature enforcement using the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) for which the method is shared in the next section.
“An error has occurred setting the element data. The value is protected by Secure Boot policy and cannot be modified or deleted.”
Disable Driver Signature Enforcement using WinRE
Follow these steps to disable the driver signature enforcement using WinRE:
1. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to switch the machine off forcefully.
2. Turn it back on again, and then repeat the process 3 times.
This will reboot Windows into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE).
3. Navigate to the following:
Troubleshoot >> Advanced Options >> Startup Settings >> Restart
The device will now restart again. This time, you will be presented with a list of options you can choose from by using the function keys on the keyboard (F1-F9).
4. Press the key that says “Disable drive signature enforcement” (F7).
This procedure to disable driver signature enforcement is the same for all versions of Windows, including Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows 10, and Windows 11.
Press F8 during boot[

Well, I found what/where the problem is as to DM installing unwanted programs. I looked thru the 'Display.Driver' folder and found a number of exe files that were not driver related including NvContainerSetup, NvCplSetupInt and VulkanRT-Installer which I have no idea what that last one is for.
Real stupid idea placing programs in a Driver folder.
