Nvidia Driver Problem at Windows 10
I have a Nvidia driver issue after Windows 10 update.
After Windows Update, i updated all drivers. Everything works great but Nvidia driver didn't worked.
It installs perfectly. in device manager it appears without problem, but when i want use the Gpu, it doesn't worked. After then i installed 3rd party anti virus software. It overrides the Windows Defender. Disabled it and re-installed the driver , it was worked. But after reboot, it crashed again. Every time it happens.
Tried many solution. Uninstalling driver via DDU (in safe mode), reinstall with clean installation etc., every step gave me same result.
Now Nvidia folder is in defender's white list but still same. I reached Nvidia support too. They couldn't find a perfect solution. How can i solve this problem? How windows defender allow Nvidia files.

But when i get this error, i tried this first. :) After this they said me "maybe you have some old files from windows 8, use driver uninstaller the clear all files" it wasn't helped too.
I'm sure Windows Defender causes the problem. In fact, i activated driver twice, overriding Windows Defender. Now i uninstalled the anti virus software. (but it was block it every reboot) Because it's not a perfect solution. I need a perfect solution :)

clean install of the Nvidia software and drivers does not resolve system crash and lock up issues created by Windows 10 Edge browser or any browser for that matter. Having to jump back and forth between Chrome, Edge and FireFox. Edge security is blocking and stoping the display drivers from running. Continual crash and burn. I hate Windows 10 and the Edge browser; nothing but problems since the install. **** Microsoft?Hi Emre,
