GeForce 397.31 WHQL and GTX 1060, infinite restarts
However, their installation does not seem to work correctly with some configurations. Many GeForce GTX 1060 owners report an annoying bug. The installation process is not over, and they are always asked to restart their PCs. The computer enters an infinite loop of reboot and attempted installation.
Nvidia is informed of the situation. While waiting for a patch, the concerned people are invited to return to the previous version of GeForce. To do this, a restart in safe mode is required to run the display driver uninstaller. The goal you guessed it is to delete the 397.31 drivers. Once the operation is complete, the GeForce 391.35 drivers should be installed as standard.
