Nvidia has been producing a lot of buggy drivers. Which is a right royal pain.
So don't auto-update to the newest one. Just ... don't.
And if the newest Studio driver is buggy on your rig, go to the Nvidia support site, and find the drivers ... and go back a driver version. Test. If it works, fine, if not, go back another one.
ONLY use the Studio Drivers, never the gaming ones. Do a "clean install" of Studio drivers, and probably leave off the Nvidia "experience" thing also.
