nvidia WDDM1.1

I'm using Windows 7 and just received 3 "important" updates this morning (Feb 27, 2013) 2 were for Windows 7 and one was for NVIDIA WDDM1.1

I click "install" and the windows' updates work but the nVidia fails. Every time it starts to install, it fails with an error message 800700FF, saying:

Update Driver Software – Unknown Device

Windows encountered a problem installing the driver for your device

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it.

NVIDIA GeForce 6200

The extended attributes are inconsistent.

If you know the manufacturer of your device, you can visit its website and check the support section for driver software.

So, I go to nVidia’s website and first of all, there’s no such thing as WDDM1.1 as an nVidia update. This is something microsoft invented to take over nVidia drivers / software. I reboot the computer and my resolution

is now at 800 x 600, after I got the BSOD. In device manager it now shows the video card as an “unknown device” without any drivers. I try to uninstall it but windows won’t allow that. I download drivers from nVidia’s site and try to manually update them…it

keeps failing and I get the same error message. I try to roll back the drivers…Windows won’t allow that either. I try to manually install the old drivers but that fails as well. Everything I try fails and I get the same error messages. Microsoft is just

sending me round and round in circles! I Googled this supposed update and everyone with these nVidia cards and Windows 7 who got this "important" update and have been having the same problem since

LAST OCTOBER!!!!!!

At least I've got it partially working now, most people still have blank screens. You'd think that after 4 - 5 months microsoft would fix this or at least stop sending out this faulty update that works like a Trojan? Major

Geeks, Overclockers, Tom’s Hardware, etc all recommend never to install driver updates from window’s update but to go to the manufacturer’s website and do it manually. Oh ya….and microsoft has the audacity to keep sending me messages that I have an ‘”important”

update I need to install....NVIDIA Graphics Adapter WDDM1.1 . ARE YOU SERIOUS???

So my questions is: Hey microsoft....what are you going to do about fixing everyone's computers? Aren't you the least bit conscientious about having caused so much trouble for so many people

over so many months? If you click on the Google link I enclosed, you'll see that a plethora of people on numerous sites / forums have been complaining about how your update has messed up their computers. Now all we

have are computers with video cards that don't work, we're unable to install current nVidia drivers, we're unable to install previous nVidia drivers and we can't even install your magical WDDM1.1 update!!!

I'd really appreciate an answer FROM microsoft about what kind of patch you're working on to fix this!
