Surface Book 2 GPU Driver disappears randomly after May 2019 update

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?

    Around the middle of July

    https://www.thurrott.com/windows/windows-10/210447/microsoft-pulls-windows-10-version-1903-for-surface-book-2-models-following-gpu-failure-on-some

    • so the questions are (1) was your Surface running the retail/consumer image or

    a custom/enterprise image and (2) did it update from Windows Update or did you

    go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 and select

    Update Now (which is NOT blocked).

    You don't have to take any action yourself. Windows Update currently has a block on installing v1903 on the Surface Book 2. If you install v1803, Windows Update will install v1809.
