^^ I suspect that changelog is including the December release changes.

The re-release was to fix a bug with direct access to the monitor settings within the nvidia control panel.

*Removed the Direct Access functionality from the driver user interface.

Looks to me like there was just this change in this February release.

I will so not bother to download this one for that fix. :)

What was nVidia's problem calling this 81.99? :rolleyes:

"Re-release" a driver over a month later without changing the version. Clever. It will never confuse, nVidia.

I totally agree with you on that. A bug fix should warrant at least a xx.x1 change to the driver number. Worthless download to almost everyone.

    • I do not remember anything happening to Apple and Google for bribing people not to make Apps for Windows Phone. Edge barley has a foot print to matter. If the other browser companies want more of the Pie, they need to do better. I use Brave on all my personal device. However in industry, Edge of default, as we can manage it easier with MS tools.
    • On the one hand, it shouldn't be difficult. You buy a computer, you decide what OS you want, which browser etc. Simple enough. But that's the techie side of things. My sister, my mother, wouldn't bother with such a thought. And I'm pretty sure that if you presented a window asking them what to pick they would say, "I don't care! I just want to access my Email!"
