UNSUPPORTED VIDEO DRIVER: Do I need to update my NVIDIA driver? CAN I even update it?

I've run Premiere Pro on my laptop for over a year now, it's never been the fastest but I just use it as a hobby so that's fine...it has crashed maybe once or twice, or when it lags I just restart it or quit for the day.

 

The last time I updated my NVIDIA Driver it started telling me it was an Unsupported Video Driver when I started Premiere, but it still boots up and works fine. There is also a note saying that there is a known bug in the recent NVIDIA driver which causes Premiere to crash..as I said before, that has happened maybe twice and doesn't affect me much. Recently, however, it started to lag a bit more and I have glitches that I can't get rid of and that stay in the video when I export it. I'm wondering if installing a newer driver would help?

 

However, when I put my stats into the NVIDIA Driver Downloads search tool, it tells me I have no results.

My stats:

     Windows 11

     NVIDIA GeForce MX130

     Driver Type: DCH

     Also I have a intel Core i7, 8th gen (don't know if that means anything)

 

So. Is there a driver that I can use? I know there are GameReady Drivers available for my configuration, but I saw somewhere that Studio Drivers are needed for editing because they are like GR Drivers plus more? Or have I reached the limitation of my laptop's power and just need to accept it and upgrade? Maybe to one with a non-NVIDIA driver or more specialized for video editing, as I bought this laptop with novice research and a small budget.

 

I know pretty much nothing about this stuff except for Google searches, etc., but I figure I need to start learning more about what I'm doing. Why drive a car if you don't know how to fix it? If you need any more info about my system let me know, and I'm grateful for any insight or advice.

The MX130 does not have a studio driver. Just install the latest game driver.

Download from the Nvidia site and do a clean install manually.
