I have a nivida graphics card when I do a windows update
It detects that I need the latest update however if I
install the update the controal panel for the graphics
card does not function also I get several erros and
warnings in the event log I downloaded the latest drivers
from the nivida site and found they were ok with no
problem I have informed microsoft about this problem and
give them the full ditales several weeks a go but the
problem has not being resolved by microsoft

You should NOT use winupdate for any drivers - unless you like grief.
There have been problems with corrupt drivers, the drivers may not be
specific for yr hardware.

Don't use Windowsupdate for any drivers that are available at the
manufacturer's website.

Your best bet is to get them straight from www.nvidia.com
