HALP! Blender suddenly running really badly!

Hey Everyone,

So turned my computer on this morning, fired up blender (2.78 portable) and it’s running at about 1 fps???

Restarted my laptop, no change…

Tried older (portable) versions of blender I have as well but they’re all doing it…

(they weren’t previously)

Halp???

What’s going on?

Nvidia users have been having issues with Windows 10 ‘updating’ their drivers by replacing them with generic ones provided by the OS.

Download or re-install a proper set of drivers to get the performance back.

Yeap what Ace stated can do the trick! I experienced also my fair share of Win10 NVIDIA driver issues.

Experiencing this as well. Turns out this happens after windows 10 update. Also having my disk go up to 100% disk sometimes. Did a windows reinstall, problem came back after update. Microsoft should really sort out their stuff after that windows 10 update ambush, it’s been one issue or another with 3d apps or certain plugins not working.

Thanks guys, installed the latest nvidia drivers and all came good (phew!)
