Fortunately, NVIDIA quickly responded and launched emergency beta driver which fixes the problem. You can download the emergency driver from this NVIDIA technical support web page. Just install it and you’re done.
Another option is to wait until next week. NVIDIA will release a monthly driver update that is automatically updated through GeForce Experience and will include this fix.
Everything points to a lack of coordination between NVIDIA Monthly Update and windows 11 22×2 updatewhich had to come out at the same time to avoid this problem.
A few days ago, the Microsoft Flight Simulator game was updated and the patch notes stated that some of the improvements will not take effect until NVIDIA updates their drivers, confirming the delay.
NVIDIA updates once a month, but it’s been a month and a half since the last update on August 9th. The launch of the new RTX 4000 cards, whose drivers are included in the NVIDIA Universal Driver for the first time, is most likely to blame for this delay.
