PC slow after unsuccessful driver update.

[loganbente]

My PC is running really slow after an Nvidia driver update.

I updated my video driver through the Nvidia experience app and while it was updating it froze and after 2 hours of being frozen I cancelled the update and tried again. The update went through the second time but now my PC is running extremely slow during games.

My Specs : Ryzen 5 1600, 16GB 2400Mhz Memory, 512GB WD Blue SSD M.2, 550W PSU, GTX 1080 Graphics card, MSI B350 Mobo.

My CPU usage and gpu usage are both around 30% while playing fortnite. My CPU temp is around 60°C and my gpu is around 55°C.

I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver.

I'm thinking about resetting my PC and I want to know if there is anything else I should try before I do that.

Have you tried to install the driver manually? https://www.geforce.com/drivers

When you run the installed choose the custom/advanced installation option then check the clean installation box.

I've never liked any of the nvidia software so I only ever install the video and physx drivers.
