"In Japan, the chairman and CEO would call a press conference, take a deep bow and, in the good old days, they may even commit hara-kiri."

Oh wait. This is US company.

That's why I usually don't jump to any new driver. 2 things will always do prior to upgrading,
1) Ask myself if I have any problems with the existing driver.
2) Look around in the forums to get feedbacks from users that have already upgraded their driver to see if there are any teething issues.

Sometimes it is very enticing to upgrade when the release notes promise some level of performance improvement. But still have to beware.

Hmmm, no issues for me lei, been running 364.47 last 2 days and been playing The Division also. Lucky I always use "Custom Installation" and Clean Install

Sama sama, I always 'Custom install (exclude 3D driver, HDMI audio driver and GeForce Experience nonsense) + Clean install. No problem when I was mucking around with the 2x Titan, went from 364.47 to 364.51 to 364.72 without issue at all....on my 2x GTX670 rig.

You can always set Win 10 to defer updates if you are on the Pro version. This will prevent Win 10 from installing updates (except security updates) for several months while said updates are being "beta tested".
