Greetings All,

Installed the Nvidia graphics driver 591.44 (591.44-desktop-win10-win11-64bit-international-dch-whql) earlier today. Just tried to export a video and MS 2025 says "please update to latest graphics driver" (or words to that effect) and there was NO hardware encoding.

Tried several times with different projects, the same result.

\re-installed the drivers (didn't uninstall the new ones first), the same result.

Over wrote the new drivers with the previous version 581.80 and hardware encoding is available and useable.

Not tried the Studio Driver 591.44 version.
