You realize the people griping, since it isn’t go-live day, are running the technical preview, right?
Anyway, “Fortunately, an Nvidia spokesperson had some positive news to share. “We have a fix for this issue in our next driver coming next week for the launch of Windows 10.”

OMFG THANK YOU!
It's TECHNICAL PREVIEW people! That means this operating system is STILL IN BETA! Last I checked, Apple doesn't beta their new operating systems to the public, and their software runs on closed, proprietary hardware.
Meanwhile, everyone starts blowing their gaskets over a beta operating system that the developer very clearly stated from the outset is NOT recommended for the average user for precisely these reasons.
Microsoft caught this before general release, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll have this ironed out before go-live.
That's great news. Two of my higher-end PC's have NVIDIA cards in them for gaming and I was constantly getting the KERNEL_AUTO_BOOST blue screen of death because of the driver issues.
Got so bad I had to go out and buy a low end video card as a temporary fix. The drivers with that $39 card worked fine. The drivers for my GTX 970's would just randomly cause the KERNEL_AUTO_BOOST blue screen and memory dump whenever it felt like it.
Personally I'm holding off on the upgrade to Windows 10 until that driver issue is fixed on the machines I have with NVIDIA cards. The rest can get updated anytime.
I would also add that the entire reason for a technical preview and public beta is to identify and correct these types of issues.
To that end, mission accomplished!
I've been running Windows 10 since the first developer preview and helped report alot of bugs. That was the entire point of the public beta.
Some people seem to forget that. There was alot of whining on the Windows 10 support forums too. I'd hope Microsoft would at least have the brains to figure out how to word a questionnaire to qualify people for public beta and filter out the whiners who are obviously lacking in any technical and diagnostic skills whatsoever. It was really hard not to type "what kind of f***ing idiot are you?!" at so many of the posts on the Windows 10 support forum ..........
