(clean install) or

boot in safe mod then try it to update(before entering download the drivers install them at safe mode)

Tell me if it doesn't work prob. from a corrupted file

If it doesn't work

is the python safe

#

Would I send you a link to it if it wasn't safe?

#

(thinking further, would the server administrators allow me to be tech support if I was sending people malicious software?)

use DDU to uninstall nvidia driver completely

#

then use NVCleanstall, select necessary components and install your gpu driver

Recommending DDU without first knowing the user's system is not the best idea
There are a lot of edge cases they could land themselves in that then results in either the whole thing not having the desired effect (of clean-installing the drivers) or even lock them inside safe mode / the login prompt

AutoDDU resolves these issues (it's, as the name suggests, pretty much a one-click thing to completely reinstall your drivers, taking care of everything)

for a decade I'm using DDU and it never caused a problem

Off the top of my head (it's been a couple years):

  • Users with Microsoft Accounts (as opposed to local ones) might get stuck on the login screen since Windows for some reason figured that they need an internet connection to log in
  • OneDrive might be enabled by default, meaning the user's Downloads folder (potentially with DDU in it) becomes unavailable inside Safe Mode
  • Not turning off your internet connection after exiting Safe Mode and before installing your driver leads to Windows Update auto-installing a (usually older) driver (so you're no longer getting a "true" clean install)
    -> You have to download your driver installer before starting the process
    -> You have to know which driver to download (Modern cards need... the newest, Kepler needs R470, Fermi needs to be thrown into the trash R390)
#

AutoDDU also just simply is a good deal faster than doing it yourself
