nvidia installer cannot continue

[nvelasco99]

I tried to delete the nvidia folders because shadow play wasnt working. But, not all the folders will delete, it said theyre running in another program. I tried to end tasks, but they wont end. I have no nvidia apps on my pc right now. I tried to reinstall geforce experience but I keep getting the same error "nvidia installer cannot continue". I looked everywhere online and none of the solutions help. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi, download the driver you want to install and have it ready (but do not install it yet). Then use [DDU] to remove all traces of the broken driver, then install the driver you downloaded.

DDU stands for "display driver uninstaller" and it will likely want to boot up in Safe Mode, allow it to do so. Be sure to boot back into normal mode when it's done before installing your driver.
