  If he didn't have to install drivers, because they're available / checked, then it wouldn't have messed things up. On macOS, I have 0 need to install drivers. On windows, I'm not sure because I haven't used it in such a while, but afaic remember, windowsupdate has updated drivers suppiled by vendors. And that actually works. His comment is similar to: I compiled a kernel modulue, and loaded it. When I do my regular uprade / dist-upgrade, and now I'm stuck with a vanilla drivers. The only way I can fix this is to alter the Makefiles, and compile from scratch. Oh look.. 1 google gives the exact situation actually: https://askubuntu.com/questions/492217/nvidia-driver-reset-after-each-kernel-update https://askubuntu.com/questions/492217/nvidia-driver-reset-a...

    No, Windows installed a driver update that broke my graphics performance. When I manually installed a driver Windows decided to override it _without_ telling me that it did so or without giving me any choice at all.
