Nvidia Control Panel gone

[ArtiomTheGamer]

i recently got a new gtx 1060 gaming x3g and i tried a clean instalation of the drivers after uninstalling my previous gtx 1050 drivers but it would say current nvidia drivers are incompattible with your windows version (i have windows 10 pro and downloaded the version for them) so i tried rebuilding the windows update cache or whatever and tried to find updates but had the latest version ( checked with winver command) , then i downloaded nvidia geforce experience and downloaded the drivers from there and installed them which worked however it didnt install the control panel and i triled reinstalling multiple times i even deleted the download incase it was semi corrupted and re downloaded and reinstalled but nothing nvdia control panel is just missing ( tried finding its folder)

Bit of a mess, see if we can fix that.

Usually installing Geforce drivers is pretty straight forward so im guessing something is outta whack.

Firstly download driver from here, and in future do the same. Geforce Experience is convenient but it's not perfect so best install drivers yourself.

https://www.geforce.com/drivers

Enter the fields;

Geforce
Series 10
GTX1060
Win10 64Bit

Will give a list with latest up the top. Version 416.34 - 519.94 MB

After driver has downloaded right click it and run it as administrator. Running administrator just helps if you have security settings in Windows set too high, like User account control or virus software etc.

The driver should detect your card and proceed to give you the option for custom installation. Choose custom and tick the clean install option.

The process will uninstall driver, profiles and Geforce experience and then proceed to install driver and Geforce Experience along with it.

That should do.

If still not working try giving Display Driver Uninstaller a go. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

Install in normal Windows. Afterwards, boot to safemode and run DDU. Choose to clean display drivers and restart option. DDU just wipes all traces of display drivers giving you a clean slate.

After that, install the same driver you downloaded.
