Display Adapter not showing up in device manager after uninstalling nVidia drivers.

[kylelambert]

I recently uninstalled my nvidia drivers using the program "Display drivers Uninstaller". Upon rebooting in safe mode, I attempted to reinstall the new drivers, but no supporting hardware was found. I looked in the device manager and there isn't even a section for display adapters.

I was getting 20 fps while playing planetside 2, so I know my gfx card works. The lights and fan are currently on as well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Instead of using Safe Mode, try booting into regular old windows.

Display adapter isn't showing up either way. My computer just won't recognize my card.

*Note: I have no onboard video on my motherboard

But somehow your monitor is working... This is odd indeed.

riiiiight....i'm stumped, hahaha. I may just need to reinstall windows. 🙁

If you're comfortable with that, that would be my next step if I was in your situation.

I did a system restore. Everything went back to the way it was originally and I just used Nvidia Experience to do a clean install of the new drivers.

Did you ever find a solution to this?

I'm having the problem with my gtx 1080. I think I need to reinstall windows 10, my gpu turns on and I get video from it. But display adapters is missing in the device manager and windows 10 won't recognize the gpu. I don't have built in graphics in my mobo either. I've tried two different gpu's now and neither of them are being read.
