Nvidia Driver 391.35 WHQL with security patches released
Nvidia released the GeForce Game Ready 391.35 WHQL driver to the public featuring improvements for select games, security patches, and quite a large number of issues.
First, the basics: Nvidia users and system admins who don't use GeForce Experience for driver updates can download the latest driver from the company's official download site.
While it may be tempting to install the full driver package, we recommend that you only install the driver for the Nvidia graphics card and other components that you require, and that you uninstall the installed (old) graphics driver completely before you install the new one.
Last but not least, you may also want to check for Nvidia Telemetry services on the system after the driver installation or use Disable Nvidia Telemetry, a free program to do so.
Nvidia Driver 391.35 WHQL
Nvidia driver 391.35 patches several security issues in previous driver versions. It is recommended that the new driver is installed on systems affected by the security issues to protect the device against potential attacks targeting these vulnerabilities.
The following security issues are patched in the new release:
- CVE-2018-6247 -- Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys).
- CVE-2018-6248 --Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for
DxgkDdiEscape. - CVE-2018-6249 -- Vulnerability in kernel mode layer handler.
- CVE-2018-6250 -- Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys).
- CVE-2018-6251 -- Vulnerability in Directx 10 Usermode driver.
- CVE-2018-6252 -- Vulnerability in the kernel mode layer handler for
DxgkDdiEscape. - CVE-2018-6253 -- Vulnerability in DirectX and OpenGL Usermode drivers
The new video card driver includes optimizations for the game Far Cry 5, SLIÂ profile improvements for GRIP and WRC 7, and 3D Vision Profiles updates or additions for Far Cry 5, GRIP, and The Talos Principle.
The reported software module versions are:
- nView - 148.92
- HD Audio Driver - 1.3.36.6
- NVIDIA PhysX System Software - 9.17.0524
- GeForce Experience - 3.13.1.30
- CUDA - 9.1
GeForce Game Ready 391.35 WHQL fixes four issues that users may have experienced in previous driver versions:
- The import profile functionality of the GeForce 3D Profile Manager tool did not work.
- Memory leaks when using Nvidia Freestyle.
- Diablo III freeze with V-Sync and SLI enabled when using Alt-Tab multiple times.
- The driver may fail to initialize the GPU on notebooks.
The new driver has the following issues (some are carried over from previous driver releases):
- Green flickering in Far Cry 5 with HDR on non-native resolutions. Nvidia suggests to use Alt-Tab to leave and then go back to the game, use Alt-Enter to switch to windowed mode and then back to full screen mode, or set a native resolution to resolve this.
- Blue screen crash in Gears of War 4 on systems with Pascal GPUs.
- Doom game crash on GeForce GTX 1080 Ti systems.
- G-Sync displays going blank issue on Nvidia Titan V systems.
- Display output issue on systems with DisplayPort and two DVI monitors.
- Operating system fails after installing the graphics card on Threadripper-enabled motherboards.
Now You: Do you update drivers regularly?
What mental age of reader are you targeting with the first sentence? 10?
Why not write an article on how to *avoid* upgrading from W10 to W11. Analogous to those like me who avoided upgrading from 7 to 10 for as long as possible.
If your paymaster Microsoft permits it, of course.
5. Rufus
6. Ventoy
PS. I hate reading these “SEO optimized” articles.
I used Rufus to create an installer for a 6th gen intel i5 that had MBR. It upgraded using Setup. No issues except for Win 11 always prompting me to replace my local account. Still using Win 10 Pro on all my other PCs to avoid the bullying.
bit pointless to upgrade for the sake of upgrading as you never know when you’ll get locked out because ms might suddenly not provide updates to unsupported systems.
ps…. time travelling?

This happens when you schedule a post in WordPress and update it before setting the publication date.
Anyone willing to downgrade to this awful OS must like inflicting themselves with harm.
I have become convinced now that anybody who has no qualms with using Windows 11/10 must fit into one of the following brackets:
1) Too young to remember a time before W10 and W11 (doesn’t know better)
2) Wants to play the latest games on their PC above anything else (or deeply needs some software which already dropped W7 support)
3) Doesn’t know too much about how computers work, worried that they’d be absolutely lost and in trouble without the “”latest security””
4) Microsoft apologist that tries to justify that the latest “features” and “changes” are actually a good thing, that improve Windows
5) Uses their computer to do a bare minimum of like 3 different things, browse web, check emails, etc, so really doesn’t fuss
Obviously that doesn’t cover everyone, there’s also the category that:
6) Actually liked W7 more than 10, and held out as long as possible before switching, begrudgingly uses 10 now
Have I missed any group off this list?
You have missed in this group just about any professional user that uses business software like CAD programs or ERP Programs which are 99% of all professional users from this list.
Linux doesn’t help anyone who is not a linux kid and apple is just a fancy facebook machine.
Microsoft has removed KB5029351 update
only from windows update though
KB5029351 is still available from the ms update catalog site
1. This update is labaled as PREVIEW if it causes issues to unintelligent people, then they shouldn’t have allowed Preview updates ot install.
2. I have installed it in a 11 years old computer, and no problems at all.
3. Making a big drama over a bluescreen for an updated labeled as preview is ridiculous.
This is probably another BS internet drama where people ran programs and scripts that modified the registry until they broke Windows, just for removing stuff that they weren’t even using just for the sake of it.
Maybe people should stop playing geeks and actually either use Windows 10 or Windows 11, but don’t try to modify things just for the sake of it.
Sometimes removing or stopping things (like defender is a perfect example) only need intelligence, not scripts or 3rd party programs that might mess with windows.
Windows 11 was a pointless release, it was just created because some of the Windows team wanted to boost sales with some sort of new and improved Windows 10. Instead, Microsoft cannot support one version well let alone two.
Windows 11 is the worst ugly shame by Microsoft ever. They should release with every new W11 version a complete free version of Starallback inside just to make this sh** OS functionally again.
motherboard maker MSI has recently released a statement regarding the “unsupported processor” blue screen error for their boards using Intel 600/700 series chipsets & to avoid the KB5029351 Win11 update:

While there may be changes or updates to the Windows 10 Store for Business and Education in the future, it is premature to conclude that it will be discontinued based solely on rumors.
My advice, I left win 15 years ago. Now I’m a happy linux user (linuxmint) but there is Centos, Fedora, Ubuntu depending on your needs.
motherboard maker MSI has recently released new BIOS/firmware updates for their Intel 600 & 700 series motherboards to fix the “UNSUPPORTED_PROCESSOR” problem (Sept. 6):

I try to disable the Diagnostics Tracking Service (Connected Devices Platform User Services) but it wont let me disable it, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Tank you for your help
