This issue is reproducible for light loads.
While developing software in Godot,
the graphical unit decided to drop
causing a lose in a few lines of code.

I bought the Surface book 3 a few weeks ago. It just installed some updates and now my Nvidia card has disappeared from the device manger.
It was working properly before the updates go installed so now I am suspecting it's something to do with the windows updates. My surface book hasn't received the latest 2004 windows update yet. I have already gone through the Nvidia driver experience app to manual install the graphics card driver but it says it can't detect any graphics card. I am pretty sure a brand new 3grand machine will not be equipped with a faulty graphics card, because that will be stupid. Will be contacting MS soon. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem.

Zim_9 - I know this is an old post but I love you for this, every time this has happened to me I have had to do the long boring diagnostic process, and the first time I uninstalled and reinstalled everything which took a whole day to get it to work. But after just seeing this and trying it, it worked. Thank you so much you are going to save so much of my time.

probably even use a different machine.
