Hi Brad,
Thank you for reaching Microsoft Community. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your Surface Laptop Studio after updating the NVIDIA driver.
To answer your question, based on the Surface Laptop Studio update history - Microsoft Support, the latest officially released NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU is the version 30.0.15.1215. We do not also recommend installing the updates directly from NVIDIA website since the most updated driver may have not yet been tested and approved for Surface.
Based on the information you provided, it seems that the updated NVIDIA driver may have caused some issues on your device. There could be several reasons why this happened, such as compatibility issues or incorrect installation. To troubleshoot the issue, please uninstall the current NVIDIA driver from your device. To do this, go to Device Manager, locate the NVIDIA graphics card, right-click on it, and select "Uninstall device." Make sure to select the option to delete the driver software for this device.
If still the issue persists, try installing the msi driver package for your Surface Laptop Studio from this page: Download Surface Laptop Studio Drivers and Firmware. from Official Microsoft Download Center
Let me know how it goes.
Kind regards,
Marrion
