Latest Nvidia Driver broke GPU Acceleration?

[CahayaBadi42]

So i've been using Lightroom Classic CC for a while, here is my current set up

Intel Core i5-3230M

8GB of DDR3 RAM

Nvidia GT635M

Windows 10 Falls Creator Update (latest)

as you can see above, im using a notebook. i've been experiencing problems (startup crashes) since updating to the newest nvidia driver (stable). currently i use 385.69, the last stable one to work with Lightroom, i've tried every one of them (up until 388.59 by the time i wrote this) and none of them works, Lightroom boots, then crashes (i've set Develop as a default start). the only solution was to: 1) either downgrade to 385.69, or 2) disable GPU Acceleration. obviously i won't disable GPU Acceleration, since the difference between both of them is quite significant. Lately i've been noticing a slight degradation of performance, i thought it was ok, and suddenly yesterday Lightroom crashed, and broke one of my photo (i don't know how to type this, but Lightroom just gave me an exclamation mark, and when i press it, it says "You can not make furthere adjustments in this file"). earlier today, Lightroom made the display driver crashed, and i have to force restart my machine in order to access it again (the monitor fully got turned off, which is weird).

So, i want to know if there are any solutions whether it's changing to a beta driver, or applying a certain settings to Lightroom or the nvidia control panel.

Thanks in advance!

Turn off the option to use the GPU on the performance tab of the LR Preferences.

If LR won't start so you can do that then do it from out side LR by following this article.

Turning off Lightroom’s GPU preferences even when crashing on startup.

Yes i'm currently using Lr with disabled GPU acceleration. Otherwise i wont be able to get into the develop module.

Try rolling back the video driver to an earlier version.

I seem to remember NVidia saying that rollback does not properly reinstall all of the NVidia stuff. They said to reinstall the previous driver in the normal way, preferably using the clean install checkbox.

I have a habit of clean installing my graphics driver everytime there is an update, but this time i made sure everything was cleaned off by clean uninstall, then reinstall the driver

Yes i'm currently on driver 385.69, the last one to work with GPU Accel for a few months. But it's been crashing my Lr for a few days

hi there!

please download the latest nvidia driver from the following page:Download Drivers | NVIDIA

After downloading the latest driver, run the installer then during the install process:

Select Custom Install, then Perform Clean Install (its a check-box).

let me know how it goes.
