Naturally I clicked it. Screen went dark but mouse cursor was still visible. Then desktop came back on.
Anyone know what is up? Just updated to 361.75 driver.

Try rolling back your drivers... I just saw thus somewhere else today and its most likely the update.
People should read the release notes :P
They (nvidia) added beta support for external graphics through Thunderbolt 3 for 1st and 2nd gen Maxwell GPU's in the 361.75 release.

My guess is the latest update had some kind of patch relating to those plug'n play style external GPU capable laptops that will be hitting the market soon.
Yep, this guy has it figured out lmao
This is actually a pretty hilarious bug. Nvidia launched some beta feature that allows user to eject external GPU without restarting the machine. But somehow it managed to detect desktop dedicated GPU and allow it to get ejected.
HA! Well good to know. I only updated cause GeForce Experience wouldn't shut up about it...
Nvidia Trolling us again?

That's... interesting, to say the least.
980 TI: "are you breaking up with me!?
Motherboard: "Yes now go away ho."
Anyways, its for external docking as the others have pointed out.
That's because as far as windows is concerned internal or external they are both just on the PCI bus and the is no difference. Windows has issues with hot plugging PCi parts. So it is not a bug as much as this is just how windows handles this option.
Edit the fun starts in pre win 10 machines. Where in win 10 they are working on adding or at least easing thenhot plugging PCI to deal with thunderbolt 3 over type c. Older windows will not get this I expect as it would probably have to be a kernel level change. I expect people messing with this to get many blue screens. This is another reason windows are pushing 10 heavily I would imagine.
I'm having the same issue here at the moment with 2 970's... F*** Nvidia... I'm going to be repairing this now... Thanks, Just what i wanted. Rolling Back drivers and burning the new one with fire.
its a driver bug.
ignore it, or roll back and wait for fix.
Yay! Another one! Welcome to the club!
Same deal here...
Has anyone actually clicked it yet out of curiosity?
I've got this horrible urge to do so. I know it will probably fuck up my system, but I'm perverse in nature, and my system just did a full backup a few minutes ago.
I like little bugs like this, and am curious as to what it would do. Does anyone see any harm in seeing what the entailing repercussions would be?
Anyone interested in my results?
Screen goes black, If you have an iGPU then I will revert to that.(Restart to fix) This update was probably for compatibility with docking stations for say laptops or tablets without a discrete GPU
