    I have GeForce GTX 1050Ti, and I am looking at the list of what’s Fixed in the PDF of Release notes. Is that enough to know if I need to go ahead and update it or not? Because if a vulnerability discovered, it would be listed there? Thank you.

      The release notes from the last version mentioned a security update (page 4). I don’t know why this wouldn’t if there was one.
      The Security Bulletin clearly states, “All versions prior to 461.09” for Windows which was the last version.

      I would only do it if the release notes say there was a security issue fixed

    Release notes and also Security Bulletin, the link you mentioned. Right? I did a mistake updating to this version, while I had the last version,
    461.09.
    Again thanks for your input Eric.
