Having built a PC (first time) this year, I’m still learning about the intricacies of drivers. If it helps anyone, the NVIDIA forum posts some interesting info about their drivers, with helpful links on how to properly clear caches manually or using DDU. They also link to some more involved debugging tools for Windows and NVIDIA:
Virtual Desktop 1.34.12 + new NVIDIA 591.44 = PROBLEMS(!)
A few minuts ago I’ve installed newest (4th.DEC.2025) NVIDIA’ drivers and Virtual Desktop can’t estabilish permanent connection to network → VR Oculus3. I use WiFi6 for PC and same Wifi6 for Oculus3. It works… worked perfect. No issues at all until NVIDIA’s 591.44
I’ve reinstalled Virtual Destop, disabled Avast protection etc. It DIDN’t solve problem.
I’ve DOWNGRADED Nvidia drivers to previous version (GeForce Game Ready Driver 581.80 | Windows 10 64-bit) and everything is working fine, so IMO 591.44 has problems with Virtual Desktop or vice versa. We have to wait for more information / solution for 591.44.
P.S. DLSS swapper do not see any newest than 310.4 / 310.4 (debug) version.
Oh man, before I read all this about breaking VD, I installed the update. I tried to (without using DDU first) install 581.94 and it broke Windows. Managed to load Windows in safe mode and downloaded DDU, uninstalled all Nvidia stuff and then put back in the last version that was successful for me (581.80). Either Nvidia or Virtual Desktop need to get their act together and fix this mess.
Okay so I did the Nvidia app install of the new driver. Cleared caches as per usual. Loaded up Skyrim real quick and was surprised at how much smoother it was. Currently in 2020 doing a flight in the Cows DA40 and no issues to report. No stutters, no audio pops. Great driver!
On a reddit forum there is a post that says that apps from driver 590 onwards will have to be compiled using Video Codec SDK version 10 upwards or it will fail.
Now if this is correct then presumably, unless there are added complications, Virtual Desktop needs to be recompiled to use that. Whether or not backwards compatibility is required I do not know.
