Nope not yet to my knowledge, Bit of an issue though as I've talked to people who have had their GPU drivers downgraded by Windows update

No mine wasn't

Cause what i did was once the Microsoft one was installed i check the version and it was a different version it was like 353.50 something.

You can disable the driver downloads if you want.

+1 Thanks for the tip

But it's only as hoc. The tool lets you disable an update only after it's been installed and uninstalled. I prefer to stick with stable drivers and only update to fix issues or add features.

Each to their own pf course, that's just me

Edit: DarkNight: a good tip, but I think that's just when adding new hardware and won't stop updates to existing ones.

Who knows, i havent had windows do any driver downloads or updates for my 970, so it might work.

My dads laptop has a Gefore 310M(lol 16 cuda cores, so worthless) and that was from back in 2010, I upgraded him to W10 and windows automatically installed 353.74.. it's also the latest one from Nvidia for W10 products that were OEM before hand.

But thanks DN, gonna change the auto update to off!

Of course it is. You're taking your 7 and 8 users and rolling them all into one. Of course that's going to crush the competition....
