For those of you who don't like to install all the junk in the Nvidia drivers, this tool will let you install only what you want; https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/nvidia-driver-slimming-utility.423072/ Tested this on W7 & W10(1809) without problems 1. Download driver to same directory as NVSlimmer 2. Run the tool and load the driver 3. Pick what you want installed (I used only what was recommended in testing) 4. Hit apply and say no to install 5. Hit repackage and choose your location 6. Install whenever you want
