My Geforce Game driver updated to 592.27 via Windows Update. Is it safe?

Before I begin, here are my specs for my laptop installed question.

Omen gaming laptop 16-ae0xxx

Processor: Intel® Core(™) i7-14650hx

Ram: 32gb

Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce rtx 4060 laptop gpu & intel® uhd graphics

Storage: 1tb NVMe SSD

Game Ready Driver: 592.27 (currently)

Ok. So today I was using my hp omen 16 laptop when suddenly i got an update. an optional one. this one is for the ”nvidia display driver 32.0.15.9227”. so I updated it and then I checked that my geforce game ready driver was updated to 592.27. I was at 591.86 because back in late february I wanted to uninstall 595.59 due to bugs but it forced me to learn how to properly uninstall and reinstall device drivers.

Since then I was at 591.86 which I was told it was safe. I rolled back as it were. But then after this optional update, I am at 592.27. I need to know if 592.27 is safe to use. I only want to know because I dont want to go through all that trouble again.

any help is appreciated because I tried doing google searches and nothing. no results. i hope to either get answers here or through the nvidia forums.

thanks for your time.
