So I just had my build moved from tower to tower and first thing I did was check my windows update. This Nvidia update keeps failing. It is under optional too. Its labeled "Nvidia - Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.2, Graphics Adapter WDDM1.3, Graphics Adapter WDDM2.0 - Nvidia Geforce GTX970". I check the Geforce Experience and it told me I was up to date with drivers. Any advice? I'm also running windows 7.

usually if you run into this problem, you'll have to uninstall the drives and do a clean wipe with DDU. Than reinstall the drivers. That should clear up the problem. NVIDIA is started to look like AMD with all these driver issues.
 
Ha no worries. Sorry you have another problem! Hopefully theres not one tho.

But yeah install the latest version and follow the instructions. You'll have to reboot in Safe Mode but DDU will do all that for you. Wait a day or two though, unless your GPU isnt working, as Win Updates sometimes take a little while to get things in shape.
