Downloading New Nvidia Drivers In my MSI computer causes a black screen to appear

Every time i download a new Nvidia driver for my computer it causes my oculus rift s to go in a black screen. 
The only fix i found for this issue is by restoring my old drivers, but i want new drivers so i can play no man sky vr. 
I have tried all the black screen solutions on the oculus website and still got the same issue 
I have tried different versions of the Nvidia drivers but still come up with the same issue.
I have tried using DDU to stop windows from automatically downloading my old drivers, and still get the same issue
My Laptop specs are a Intell 8 GEN CORE i7-8750H
Nividia GEFORCE GTX 1060
6GB GDDR5
16GB DDR4 - 2666MHz
256GB SSD + 1 TB HHD

And its a MSI GS63 Stealth "VR Ready"

I also read that the MSI computer itself is causing this issue but am still not too sure.

Any help will be great guys, thank you so much.

You are not alone. I have an identical issue and it really sucks.

 See my new post. I fixed my issue with a GPU bios update.

Was your rift S plugged in while installing the drivers?
Core i7-7700k @ 4.9 Ghz | 32 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance @ 3000Mhz | 2x 1TB Samsung Evo | 2x 4GB WD Black
ASUS MAXIMUS IX HERO | MSI AERO GTX 1080 OC @ 2000Mhz | Corsair Carbide Series 400C White (RGB FTW!) 

Be kind to one another 🙂

You do have to make sure you're using the right one. It's best if you open a support case with MSI so they can get you the correct version.
