    What is this seamless driver update that you mentioned?

    I like the GeForce Experience. Tells you when update is ready, download and installs update, and continue on your merry way (no restarting).

    You mean the Geforce Experience drivers are different?

    No, GeForce Experience is their utility to optimise games and keep drivers updated.

    It will detect when a new driver is available, and like @PsYkHoTiK pointed out, it will download the updated driver and then you can install it without restarting.

    The screen may flash a few times, but that's it. :D

    AMD's latest Radeon Software just alerts me to the new driver and sends me to the website to download it. LOL...

    I just tried, so far the only benefit is I don't need to restart my machine. :haha:

    That's a big deal for me, because I usually run my computers 24/7/365... LOL!

    Well, technically you can still run 24/7 but still restart your computer everyday. :haha:

    LOL! Yeah, technically...

    Sigh, the trouble is you cannot delay them forever. Eventually they just reboot your computer. They won't even wait for you to shut down and save whatever work you are still doing, or have left running... :(

    If you don't restart your computer, your Windows is as vulnerable as not getting patched.

    Oh agreed. That's why now I have to restart it like on a weekly basis. I just wish they would not force reboot, but just start a soft reboot. When you do that, the applications will ask you to save your work.

    They don't have to allow us to quit the process once it starts, but at least allow us to save the work, and close the applications properly.

    That's why I have things set to alert me of updates instead of automatically installing them. I chose when, so if a reboot is needed I'm prepared.
