If you haven’t updated your NVIDIA driver yet, you’d better do it now as the GPU company has fixed quite a few denials of service, escalation of privileges, data tampering, and information disclosure bugs this time.

To address all of the above, you may download the latest available driver for your graphics card on this page. Alternatively, if you’re using the ‘GeForce Experience’ tool, you may fetch the update from there.
