Someone please help with my sanity, it's quickly slipping away.
I have a bit of an older budget system that's used more for homework and general productivity so the specs aren't great.
Mobo- ASUS m5a97 r2.0
CPU- amd fx 4300
Boot drive- Samsung 860 evo SSD
RAM- 8gb 1600
PSU-some 450W unit, don't remember from where
GPU- nvidia gt 610 (again, just need video out)
Long story short I decided to update my gpu drivers to latest version the other day. Seemed to install fine but after the update the Nvidia control panel disappeared and the gpu showed up as "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" in device manager. Windows recognizes it as a nvidia gpu, so it's not like it's not detecting it, I have a video signal in native resolution. View: https://imgur.com/a/F2uA2JX
I wiped the drivers with DDU then tried to install new ones, nvidia installer always fails, View: https://imgur.com/a/FsD2VsL
I suspect it's also being denied access of some sorts. Device manager also is able to locate and download drivers but always throws a "Access is denied" error View: https://imgur.com/a/ZfBqoY4
, same thing if I manually point Device Manager to the drivers I have downloaded. I've tried running nvidia installer as admin, running device manager as admin, taking driver ownership with the TAKEOWN cmd, attempting to install with driver enforcement turned off, all variations of safe mode, making sure nothing is wrong with sfc /scannow, nothing takes. I'm at a loss as what to do.
