You can find the changelog below. The most important issue resolved is arguably the one for HDR displays, as the new GeForce hotfix driver fixes the previously incorrect black levels when engaging High Dynamic Range mode. Additionally, this driver should fix the stuttering observed in Marvel's Avengers (which just got Kate Bishop added to the game, by the way), according to NVIDIA.

- Lenovo Y740 may display corruption on waking from sleep [3178279]
- Some notebooks may BSOD when waking from sleep while connected to external monitor via dock/dongle [3162411]
