Now, while this hasn’t been an issue that has affected all users if you have been experiencing problems with programs that previously ran perfectly, then there is some good news for you. – Following the launch of Nvidia’s latest Hotfix 461.33 drivers, the key focus made in the update is that random crash issues within many applications have now (hopefully) been resolved.

Where Can I Get This Update?

As this is a hotfix driver, it has not been released in a ‘general’ fashion, and, as such, checking your GeForce Experience app will not provide you with any prompt to make this update. – You will instead need to manually install it and, as such, to grab your download and learn more about this, you can check out the official Nvidia 461.33 website via the link here!

As is always the case with ‘hotfix’ drivers, however, if you’re not experiencing any issues since the last official driver update, you’re probably best off simply skipping this.
