    Notes:
    1. For the Thunderbolt driver, enable the update option in BIOS so it shows up in the device manager.
    2. I generally find drivers from official website and Microsoft update catalog. Sometimes newer MSI laptops have newer drivers that are compatible with old laptops.

    For some reason 411.63 sometimes makes my dGPU stay on all the time, revert back to 399.24 and all fine again.

    Maybe try NVIDIA GPU Activity in the notification tray? Most of the time for me it's silent option, photos, and paint 3D. For silent option, an restart of the program usually fix the issue. For Microsoft useless UWP some ppl claim that reset the app in settings work but for me it doesn't.

    Also I heard ppl having FPS issue with 411.63.

    currently v10.0.18362.31248 of the Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader from Microsoft Update Catalog is x86/32bit only (contains the rtsuer32.cat, RsCRIcon.dll, RtsUer.inf & RtsUer.sys files - will only install on 32bit versions of Win10 only) - currently not compatible with the most common x64/64bit Win10 versions.

    use v10.0.17763.31247 of Realtek USB 2.0 Card Reader driver from Microsoft Update Catalog instead, which is available in both 32bit (x86) & 64bit (x64) versions

    Sorry about this. Never expected that new drivers are still released for 32bit only.

    Wait a second. The driver is compatible for AMD64 so I don't see any issue with 64bit systems. v10.0.17763.31247's description in architecture is exactly the same as v10.0.18362.31248's so there is no reason why the new driver can't be installed on 64bit systems.

    Wow, $1500? What kind of repair is this? Motherboard replacement shouldn't be that much.
