nVidia drivers cause crashes (tested multiple dr. versions). Microsoft supplied drivers work fine.

First of all, until a few days ago, I used them without the slightest problem/lag, since yesterday I literally have the same defect, it's impossible to zooming, resize (picture goes grey, and shows up after 15-20sec), menus and the cursor flash making LR literally unusable, obviously by disabling the gpu acceleration it is stable but again unusable due to incredible slowness.
I am a professional and I have hundreds of photographs to process and it is absolutely inconceivable that after so many years there are still problems like this with Adobe software.
After many hours spent rolling back drivers, installing and uninstalling applications, the only stable-usable way is to keep the drivers that Microsoft provides me installed without any nvidia software installed, or version 31.0. 15.3623 08/06/2023 in my case.
As always, even on mid PCs (4970k + 1080Ti 11Gb + 32Gb ram + ssd m2) it shows that the software is not optimized at all on Windows systems, I seriously consider switching to capture one after this incredible problem that wasted me several hours of reading forum and trying cleaning/rollback driver/etc

Graphics Processor Info: 
DirectX: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 (27.21.14.5671)
Init State: GPU for Export supported by default
User Preference: Auto
Enable HDR in Library: OFF

Ok, so that GPU driver via Microsoft, with Windows Store version 27.22.14.5671 would be NVIDIA driver v456.71 released back in 2020. Odd that such an old one would give you fewer issues than a new one.

Please post your System Information as Lightroom Classic (LrC) reports it. In LrC click on Help, then System Info, then Copy. Paste that information into a reply. Please present all information from first line down to and including Plug-in Info. Info after Plug-in info can be cut out as that is just so much dead space to us non-Techs and it takes up vast amounts of scroll space making the reply less readable and less likely that others will bother with your post.

I am very curious with the Microsoft driver and not the NVIDIA drive,r just what your System Info shows for the Graphics card.

example:

Also, can you post a screen shot of your MS Windows Device Manager (with the Display Adapters expanded)

example:

P.S. over at NVIDIA for the 1080, the following is shown:

for the 970, just the Game Rady, that card is very old in th tooth.

Hi , I've moved your post from the Photoshop forum to the Lightroom Classic forum where you are more likely to get help with your issue.

Incidentally, I use Lightroom Classic every day here with NVidia GPU (RTX3090) and NVidia Studio drivers (which I always install using Advanced options and select clean install to remove remnants of old drivers) and do not experience those issues.

@Michael372953901auw this is the Photoshop forum, try reporting the issue on the Lightroom Classic forum instead
