Surface Book 2 GPU Driver disappears randomly after May 2019 update

Anonymous

Hi, just recently installed the Windows 10 May update on my Surface Book 2. Now the GPU disappears randomly while in use. The only solution is to reboot the Surface Book 2, or go into the device manager and initiate a scan for the GPU to come back again. It has Nvidia Gforce GTX 1050 version 23.21.13.9140

Are there any plans for Microsoft to release an updated driver to fix this bug?

Magchild updated their post and it's still happening, so this apparently doesn't work. Like I said before I've updated to 1903 (and only that) no additional updates and I've only had the problem once. So it has to something in those additional updates.

So, I rolled back the system to version 1809 and everything seems to work.
