Lol... on my G751JT win10 CU - this driver versions works no problem as well as brightness...
so "new" isn't always better, so it seems...
NVIDIA = bashing-my-head-in-the-wall

Hey

You might want to add G751JY to that, total mess. Wont work.

[benjmyers1]

definitly wont work on the g751jy. I'm glad someone started this thread. It took me forever to narrow it down to that driver last week.

[MacLeod]

I figured I should let my fellow ROGers know as it wasn't posted previously.

I discovered the problem when updating my Brand New G752VS-XB78K and came upon the problem myself...and when investigating I found no support for the problem...so I contacted NVIDIA support and they provided this answer to me...Thus, I shared it with you all.



I am glad to be of help!

You're welcome!

Same problem here, with my G752VY notebook. Although I have already updated to 381.65 several days ago. I am suprised how is that even possible to break things so badly.

[Clintlgm]

It happens, just install the earlier Ver. solve it for my G752VY

Its not possible to upgrade to 381.65 on my G752VS - no supported graphic card.

First one on the list...and as I mentioned earlier on how I learned of this issue when I tried installing on MY G752VS...but thanks for sharing.

This Thread is just too late - i had this issues 10 days ago when i bought my G752VS - and wonder why i could install the driver.
