So i uninstalled the nvidia drivers with DDU and after trying to install the driver it would tell me it cant install it because i still had physx software installed so i went to uninstall it and noticed that theres these still in my system should i uninstall all of these?

If you ran DDU to wipe all Nvidia, then I would. DDU should have cleared them.

Thats weird i cant uninstall the physx one when i right click and click uninstall nothing happens but when i go to anything else and hit uninstall it gives me the uninstall for the program.

Just a quick question before you take action, did you run DDU in safe mode? Usually does a much better job

yes

My suggestion from here if it won't uninstall through DDU etc is to try it through registry.

Could try using Revo uninstaller - https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo-uninstaller-free-download/

does the free version do the job?

it says it deletes windows apps, I assume the driver packages count as that.

Its likely that DDU has left those behind in there and they might be ghosts

one method is to reinstall it to then uninstall it.
Try methods 2, 5 & 6 here. Not sure I would trust 7 - http://www.uninstallhelps.com/how-to-uninstall-nvidia-physx.html#Method6

The revo didnt really do anything because it doesnt even see it it doesnt see like 90% of the files and i dont think its possible to reinstall it. The bad thing is if i dont get rid of it i wont be able to install a nvidia driver. I tried 2 uninstallers already...

Hey there, a reinstall is definitely possible, you just have to get it back from nvidia's site or I believe gf experience also has it. I don't know the rules on links but if you google physx install it'll be there.

This is probably the easiest remaining method but if it doesn't work you still have options.

OK, here is what I noticed: Uninstalling Nvidia PhysX either with the default uninstaller or with CCleaner doesn't remove the whole AGEIA Technologies registry folder, only removes the last row 2.8.3 that I marked in the attached image. And the next time when I install drivers, Physx won't install. OK, no big deal, I can manually remove the whole AGEIA Technologies reg. folder. But the problem is that every time when a new driver is released and I uninstall old driver in order to prepare my PC for the new one, I have to manually delete AGEIA Technologies registry folder.

Try installing them from there and then see if DDU wipes them... why were you wiping them anyway?

Because i wanted to reinstall a driver, it was showing that the driver was unsupported on rainbow six siege which is bs because i have a 1050Ti and when i tried to install the driver after DDU wipe it would give me this error

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441304794221772801/629718606556561418/unknown.png but with PhysX showing as installed so i thought i had to uninstall PhysX to fix this but i guess not.

So now I am confused. Is it fixed now?

I can't read the language on your screenshots so not sure what its saying.
What does it show under Stav? Are they installing or not?

you could try a custom install and only grab drivers, not the other things
