Omg! I got the same problem! While playing League of Legends, my games crashes, and Nvidia GTX 1060 suddenly disappears from Device Manager! I was looking for a solution….and then i decided to wipe out the whole drive and install the clear 1903 Windows on wiped drive. The problem still exists and now I can’t move back to the previous build 1809….

I had the same issue. 1050. After chatting with a Microsoft agent, the best solution for now was to switch back to 1809. Have not had issues since with dGPU. No more disconnecting. The more awareness, the better.
