Just an information piece really. I've been using Nvidia's 388.00 drivers to date, 388.13 & 388.31 have given me really bad head tracking stutter inside the Rift. So much so that it makes it totally unplayable without making me feel sick.
Just hoping anyone with the same problem will come across the title of this post as it might help them out if they've updated drivers and not thought to roll back.
Also it's worth deleting the temporary driver folder C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\... (driver version) as Windows 10 keeps taking it upon itself to reinstall the bad driver again on mine if I leave the new extracted driver in that temp install folder.
do you have after burner or anything like that theres another thread here called rift stutter. you can turn the power monitor off if you do have it, see if that helps.
Hi @Sitruz, Windows will download updated drivers whether that NVIDIA folder is there or not. There's a way though to prevent driver updates via the Control Panel/System/Advanced System Settings, Hardware tab, Device Installation Settings.
Or a better way is Microsoft's Show or Hide Updates tool, which will allow you to temporarily block individual updates rather than all driver updates. I haven't used either method for a while as I don't seem to have any issues with the latest drivers.... touch wood!!

Thanks Iceman. Yeah there was a few bits in there I've disabled like the overlay. Yes I am using Afterburner as well so I might try and update to 388.31 now and see if that's made any difference.

Thanks @DaftnDirect. Yeah I found that this morning when it updated again with any involvment from me. I found that Device Installation Settings on some page somewhere and I've done that. Just waiting to see if it affects.
I do like to run the latest drivers where possible, so want to try 388.31 again to see what happens now I've disabled the Overlay.
Well I made sure Device Installation Settings were set to don't update my shizz, but it still did it anyway. I cannot figure out why Windows thinks its knows better than me. I've DDU's these crappy 388.13 drivers so many times now.
Is there any definitive way to stop Windows 10 automatically updating my Nvidia driver?
The October NVIDIA Update caused glitching. Rolling back to previous July Driver worked. I don't have the 38* version numbers as they don't state them in the Device Driver!
How do you stop Windows from constantly updating you to a newer version though. I wan to stay on the 388.00 driver as its perfect for me and gives me know head tracking issues whatsoever, except with Arktika.
I have been going crazy with my USB drivers, uninstalls, etc thinking it was JUST ME! I NEVER had these issues before. Last good date I used Oculus was when Star Trek Bridge Crew came out...after reinstalling windows (CLEAN and all drivers UP TO DATE including NVIDIa) and reinstalling Oculus - I too experience these same head-motion PICTURE jumps (stutters?)! It's not like a left-to right constant stutter - but rather the picture will JUMP up and down slightly...ever so slightly when I look behind me (rotating my head to the left) and then look directly to my left in an attempt to face forward. It's so strange and a huge immersion killer for me.
Are you mentioning this as stutter OP? What I mention????
