    Hi,

    I might have the same issue so I bring details here if it can help adding clues to fix it...

    User's image I have encountered simultaneously:

    • issue to finalize windows udpdate
    • screen resolution issues
    • NVIDIA drivers replaced by windows generic driver
    • Impossible to update automatically this driver

    screenshots bellow to illustrate:

    2026-03-21 Issue Windows Update, Nvidia, Screen resolution 01

    2026-03-21 Issue Windows Update, Nvidia, Screen resolution 02 after restart

    2026-03-21 Issue Windows Update, Nvidia, Screen resolution 03 - NVidia Driver focus

    2026-03-21 Issue Windows Update, Nvidia, Screen resolution 03 - NVidia Driver update 01

    2026-03-21 Issue Windows Update, Nvidia, Screen resolution 03 - NVidia Driver update 02

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.


    Please clarify the following:

    Do you have a third-party antivirus installed? If yes, which one?

    Also. What is the current version and "OS Build" of your Windows 10?

    • Press "Windows + R", type winver, and click OK.

    If you prefer, share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    Be sure to censor your email address if it appears. The Microsoft Q&A is public.


    I await your reply.
