My notebook crashes frequently and the screen goes green with error code dxgmms2.sys. This has been happening since the recent major update to to Windows 10 64-bit.
I thoght that the AMD graphics card was at fault but when I attempted to upgrade it via Cotrol Panel >Settings>Device mager >Display Adapter Windows gave me a screen message said that it was up todate.
Any help on how to resolve this recurring problem would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Moses

Hi @masaka
Thank you for posting back.
I really appreciate your time and efforts.
The driver updates which you get from Windows update are generic drivers. You can download the latest drivers from HP website or from the device manufacturer website.
Also, you can turn windows driver on in the future if required.
I trust the above resolves your queries. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you very much for your responnse and I warmly welcome your willingness to help me with this recurring problem. Not being a computer wizard, I am worried that if I turn off driver software updates via Windows Update, I could get stuck if my computer got no driver software updates at all.
Please let me know how I would keep the computer updated with driver software updates if I turned off driver software updates via Windows Update.
