Just as a personal note I'm currently running the latest Windows 10 build and playing Alien Isolation has meant I've had to uninstall these drivers due to the slow loading times it was causing in the game. I initially thought it was the new build of Win 10 but have since discovered it's the Nvidia driver. Rolling back cures the issue.
