GeForce Game Ready driver keeps reverting

[ErikG96]

So I've been experiencing this rather odd issue for a few days now: my Nvidia GeForce graphics driver keeps reverting back to the old one after installation.

I first noticed this upon playing a HD video file in VLC, the day after I updated.
The film was suddenly all pixly and square-filled, so I checked if my drivers were still up to date.
Upon opening GeForce Experience, I saw that there was a new driver available:
(397.31, released on 25/4 2018).

I installed it using default/standard installation, as usual.
Nothing strange happened during the installation, and Nvidia told me my drivers were up to date when it was finished.
Said and done, I closed GeForce Experience.

Later (hours at least, could be more), I shut down for the day.
When booting up the morning after, the video issue was back and - big surprise - GeForce now told me the same patch was available (it had for some reason been reverted).

The only thing I can think of having done is shutting down my PC and restarting it.
No other significant installations, patches or updates that I know of.

My specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
CPU: IntelCore i7 6700k
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080
RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2x8 GB
SSD: Samsung 850 Evo 500GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Operating system: Windows 10 x64

The last driver is buggy, i suggest just waiting for a fixed version.

Yeah, I suspected that to be the case...
Same thing happened today, after shutting down and booting up again.

I'm guessing there's nothing else to do but wait for the next version...

Looks like there's a new driver out now!
