    Installed the latest NVidia drivers 347.25 without any issues so far. I have 2 gtx 970's and sli works. When is Nvidia going to release Win10 TP drivers. System information in the Nvidia control panel obviously shows drivers as directx 11. DirectX 12 is in the 9926 release.

    I have the same issue with my laptop and its AMD 5650. Any drivers cause a BSOD and bootloop. I need to disable the GPU with device manager and disable automatic driver install in Windows Update. Unfortunately, this seems to set the power of the GPU to max at all times, which generates a huge amount of heat. I'm using Leshcat custom drivers.

    Intel drivers install correctly.

    What happens if you let Windows install its own drivers?

    Bootloop?

    If yes then report it via the inbuild form dalby.png

    No one has taken note of this issue on the Windows Insider forums with over 30 replies.

    Frankly I am sick of AMD getting away with this stuff.

    Can confirm on an Acer Aspire V3-551G-X419 with 7660G (iGPU) + 7670M (dGPU, muxless) laptop.

    Enabling/Disabling _OSC from BIOS does nothing (figured it was worth a shot since this did help with a dGPU issue in Linux). Using Balanced vs High Performance doesn't help either. Disabling the dGPU does seem to allow the iGPU to have the driver and work properly. And installing the dGPU driver and leaving the iGPU non-functional seems to work too (but obviously won't work too ideally).

    I think people should try to understand that this thread concerns PXAA (AMD + AMD ) Laptops and maybe PXAI (AMD + Intel) Laptops. .. and one rare Nvidia laptop case?!.. maybe a red herring.

    Everyone else seems to be riding the non existent wave. Desktops are not affected.
