[Help] After updating my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 driver, playback got choppy in Adobe Premiere Pro

Hey people, I’m having a problem with performance (playback) in Premiere Pro after updating my Nvidia driver.

Just to start, here my notebook:

- Intel® Core™ i7-8750H, 9MB Cache (2.2 GHz up to 4.1 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost)

- NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1060 GPU (6GB GDDR5)

- 16 GB RAM DDR4 (2400 MHZ)

- SSHD 1 TB with 8GB SSD

- SSD M.2 - 275GB - [ 500 MB/s ]

- WINDOWS 10 60-bit

I word with animation, post-production and editing.

1) I had the driver 397.31 and my playback at Premiere Pro (updated) was perfectly fine. Playback was smooth.

The footage I'm editing is a video H264 (10s) very very light (12MB). I was just adding a soundtrack to the movie.

2) Suddenly when I opened my Premiere Pro I received a report saying the following:

"The current version of your NVIDIA graphics driver may not suitably support CUDA 9.2 and may cause issues for Adobe Premiere Pro. We recommend updating to a newer version for optimal performance and stability. Continuing with an older version of the NVIDIA graphics driver may run in software-only mode and may cause slow playback and other issues that may appear to be a bug."

3) Ok, everything was fine but I decided to update my graphics driver to the newest one (430.86) BUT before downloading and installing I created a restoration point in Windows.

4) After installing, my playback was choppy. I couldn't edit anymore.

5) I went back in time (I wish!) with the "restore point" I've created before and the problem persisted in Premiere.

6) I tried to clean Windows old registries using CC Cleaner, uninstalled Premiere Pro, installed again, etc.

7) I installed again an old version of graphics card too.

😎 I installed both Game and Studio versions of Nvidia Geforce graphics drivers.

9) Sorry guys but I don't need solutions like: reduce quality preview, have a hard disk or SSD to render, etc, etc. Because before all this it was working just fine. I need a solution to resolve this bug. I paid to much money in this machine to let it go.

9) I'm hopeless. The choppy (very very choppy) playback is all I have.

And that's it.

Resuming:

Everything was fine before updating my graphics card and now, playback is choppy (it's impossible to edit even the footage is tiny).

Anybody else know what to do? Any idea?
