i7 7700
Asus Z270 TUF Mark2 Board
32G RAM
GTX1070 (MSI Armor)

Any idea?

Best regards,
Sebastian

There is a major Windows 10 update rolling out right now which will probably break things.

Often, after a Win 10 update, it has necessary to re-install graphic drivers… they are in place, but not working correctly…
The GPU driver is not working after an update Windows 10, or the video card is not detected.
