I was talking about the installer, not the app. The installer could ask, "do you want to close existing instances", and if I agree, close them for me. This is how another installer handles this:

I'm know what I'm doing perfectly well, and I'm doing nothing wrong. And I read and understood people's posts perfectly. Also, I don't want or need to disable checking for updates, I don't think it's related to this problem in any way. Anyway, I did 3 more reboots, and I couldn't reproduce the...

I didn't open more than one instance, intentionally. It was all GPU-Z's doing. First, it doesn't start properly at boot on the first attempt, so I have to end task it. That leaves its driver in a strange state, which makes it also fail to start on the second attempt, but apparently it starts in...

I already fixed it, as mentioned in the initial post, and no, that was not the problem. The problem was the process running in the background, not the installer.

No, that (1) means I downloaded the installer two times.

I get this: First of all, if it finds an existing instance, it should close it automatically. Second, there was no additional instance visible in Windows. I could start it, exit it again, but it still gave this. No process was showing in task manager except for the install process. However...

The energy storage capacity is 4730 Wh, so the number in the naming can't reflect that. The number in the name seems to be the maximum sustained power, not the energy capacity. Yes, you can refer to the maximum power as a capacity too, but my point is that, without mentioning which type of...

Yes, I get it, but I don't like it. And they are random from my point of view, since they don't follow a schedule. And a driver that needs to be optimized for each major title is a problem in itself, wouldn't you say? Those games take years to develop, so planning a driver release to support...

Not sure why you think it's odd. That's why there is a patch Tuesday for Windows, instead of random updates coming out of the blue. Our time and attention are not free. Of course, I could just skip it. But the taskbar icon indicating an available download is a bit annoying. And yes, I also...

I'm getting tired of these frequent updates. The previous release is just 8 days old.

No, I just manually load it after each boot just to have something to complain about :) Now, seriously, thanks for trying to help. And I'll probably do that next time I have to troubleshoot RAM problems. Which in fact might be today. It seems at 5833MHz RAM frequency my RAM / CPU / MB...

Because I was trying to get 4 DDR5 sticks of RAM to work with my new 13900KF at their advertised speed: 6400MHz. I didn't try to overclock them. But, as I discovered over the last few days, is impossible to get the advertised speed with 4 sticks, although 6400MHz works just fine with 2 sticks...

Why not make it an option? If you reboot your computer a lot this gets really annoying.

Thanks, I'll check again when Microsoft finally decides 22H2 is compatible with my system. And, of course, updating the driver also changes my default audio device, after I reboot. Probably a Windows problem too.

I bought a HDR capable display a month ago, and I've noticed that each driver update disables HDR in Windows, and I have to manually re-enable it. It has happened on at least the last two driver updates. I don't see this in the known issues list. I'm on Windows 11 21H2.
