@bdimag Saw the same issue on Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard - installing the latest driver for the card from nVidia directly seems to resolve this for me.
Drivers for Server 2012 R2 were from: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/sizes-gpu

@bdimag I will close this out for now. If you need additional help please let me know and we can reopen and continue.

I can repo this issue in two of my Azure NV6 VMs from Windows 10 Pro 1809 image with NVIDIA GPU Driver extension.
Windows 10 Pro 1803 image works!

Any updates on 1809 support for Nvidia Grid drivers/NV6 instances?

Any updates on 1809 support for Nvidia Grid drivers/NV6 instances?

Maybe waiting for Win10 1903 release?!
