I was attempting to update my nvidia drivers today, but I've found I cannot open my control panel. I tried to update through geforce but as soon as the update downloads it seems it doesnt register the install and I am in a loop of installing the update over and over. I am at a loss and need help!

#

I attempted to do a clean install as well but nothing seems to work.

#

My device manager cant detect anything wrong with it and is telling me I am up to date.

I just went through this process and reinstalled my drivers but the control panel still will not pull up

#

I reinstalled my drivers from the nvidia website. The install went smooth and windows even gave me a notif that the control panel was installed. I double clicked and it allowed me to click the box for the nvidia terms and conditions but I cannot actually open the panel.

#

for the install I did it myself, and I did not download the control panel from the store. I got the notice from downloading geforce.

#

The microsoft store says that the panel is installed but I did not manually install it from the store

I tried once again and still nothing

#

I submitted a support ticket, Im not sure what else the problem could be

I'd suggest booting safe mode and check if it opens up

#

You could use revoUninstaller and try and remove it with it, it might have some weird leftover files at cache folders and registry, ddu should do that but worth giving a try

Also when removing with revoUninstaller, either dm me or just be careful when you get to select which registry files to delete, always double-check just in case it doesn't throw something in that isn't tied to nvcp

Hi all. I'm having the same problem as @visual stratus

#

I've tried everything above. I'm in a constant loop. My NVIDIA control panel disappeared and i cant open it in any way.

#

any resolution available?

#

Mine resolved because there was a bug with the GTX 1060 update. I rolled my drivers back to a previous update in my device manager and reinstalled the patched update and its working fine now

#

so i kind of figured out the issue? if i uninstall my geforce gfx card and then do a hard reset on my laptop, itll start up again while recognizing the graphics card and even opening nvidia control panel. the problem is that after a couple of minutes the fan makes a loud noise as if it's overworking and then i get a blue screen

#

can anyone be so kind as to let me know if this is common or if there's a possible solution?
