How can I update my Surface Book 2 drivers for NVIDIA Geforce GTX1050

When I start Adobe Premiere Pro I get this message :

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 v.23.21.13.9140

1.    The current version of your NVIDIA graphics driver may not suitably support CUDA 9.2 and may cause issues for Adobe Premiere Pro. We recommend updating to a newer version for optimal performance and stability. Continuing with an older version of the NVIDIA graphics driver may run in software-only mode and may cause slow playback and other issues that may appear to be a bug.

So I tried to install the latest version of the drivers from NVIDIA but it seems that it can be done only through windows update.

Therefore I cannot use Adobe Premiere Pro because video is not rendered (only one frame some time...)

I have some friends having Dell and the drivers updates are more "up to date".

Will Microsoft soon give us a proper update for this driver ?

    Really weird that these kinds of issues happen when the hardware spec and OS both are from Microsoft.  Windows+Surface really should play together like IOS and Iphone.  I really hope MS fixes the issue ASAP.

    The battery draining while the dGPU is in use on the 15" Surface Book 2 is a hardware issue where the power cord simply can't provide enough power to the machine. I think this was an issue with early cords. At least one review of the Surface Book 2 noted that when Microsoft replaced their review unit's power cord, the issue mostly went away.

    I have a 13" SB2 which has a Nvidia 1050 instead so I have no power issues. But I can see how the combination of the power cord issue with the v1903 disconnect issue makes for an extremely frustrating experience.

    Thanks for this response @Entegy, and good to see Microsoft have recognised the NVIDIA dGPU problem with the Surface Book 2.

    I should point out for this thread that my problem with using Adobe Lightroom 6 with Surface Book 2 also occurred before the 1903 update, just at a lesser frequency, and my understanding is that this is power related - my advice is to see how the problem differs when the battery is fully charged AND plugged into mains power - so hopefully this will help some.

    nVidia installer stops installation with "not compatible" alert

    -Same here. This needs to be fixed ASAP. How are we supposed to do creative work if can't use our software because our graphics driver hasn't been updated for like a year!??

    JamesUK, you have a different problem then the one here. There's a known issue with v1903 and the Surface Book 2 where the NVidia card disconnects during use. This has nothing to do with the drivers issue posted above. Microsoft is working on a fix. See here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-information/status-windows-10-1903#536msgdesc
