to uninstall these Optional Windows Update? This updated driver is unstable
and BSOD my system upon waking up from Sleep Mode. Unfortunately, I found out
days after the installation so I can't do System Restore. Thanks in advance
for any advices.

Hi SilverLight,

Drivers are handled in the Device Manager in the Control Panel (Classic View).

In Device Manager:
1. Expand Display adapters
2. Right click on your video device and click "Properties"
3. Select "Uninstall Driver"

You can get the latest Nvidia drivers here:
