That's why nvidia has an app for that.

I think AMD has that too in its app, but if your graphics card driver is crashing in windows, your screen is freezing. Windows might try to restart the driver or so, getting the screen working briefly, but then it crashes again and ultimately it fails completely, you can only press the power button on your machine then.
Windows 10 by itself decides: "Hey, I'm going to replace your installed graphics card driver with some other version, that I will find myself online!" Then next time I start this OS, I get crashing graphics card driver and need to go and look on AMD website for the correct drivers, installing them over whatever crap Windows installed. This has happened at least 3 times already and it is pissing me off. It would probably be better to deactivate automatic Windows updates completely and then try to have a manual selection of installed components. But even then I could not be sure, that it will not try to replace my installed drivers with crap.
