Cant see display settings in nvidia control panel

[mossy parcel]

Im on the most recent driver update, i have updated EVERY driver related software, i have searched atleast 20 different videos and still nothing has solved this. Any explanations or help here?

If you don't have a laptop, please take a photo of the back of your PC

I can do that in a lil bit

Please try using DDU to remove drivers and monitor information, and then let it reinstall drivers and see if it improves.

Something is inconsistent.

Was this computer originally not using the NVIDIA GPU?

no i have never changed out any parts, i got the computer custom built in september or 2022

[toxic surge]

Yeah, you should be getting these options, so see if it's just the drivers acting up

GTX 1660 ti, i5 9400F

alright

[toxic surge]

also that cpu is old by 2022

new old stock?

if you were sold the computer as new, keep in mind that you might have been "scammed" in terms of not being aware what the most current gen of intel cpus are

[mossy parcel]

yea i know its old, but i run really good frames and it seems alright

[toxic surge]

because you could have gotten a 11th or 12th gen at that point

no my dad bought the parts pretty cheap from my neighbor

whose really into pc builds

[toxic surge]

ah, that makes sense, and that also technically means the parts are used

nice

[mossy parcel]

yea they were, but still good parts

imo

i think i might upgrade a part or 2 in the near future

As the messages indicate, something is seriously wrong with Windows Update on your computer. You probably have a bunch of things broken that are manifesting as various bugs

Stop using AutoDDU since it may be unsafe.

Instead, in an admin Terminal window, run the following:

sfc /scannow

then

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

alright i will

Restart the PC. Then, run the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

If none of the above fixes the issue, I'd advise doing a Windows over-install https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

Use the Media Creation Tool to create a USB install disk, then without restarting the PC, run the setup inside the USB. Skip the update check, then when Windows tells you that it'll upgrade Windows while keeping apps and your files, proceed once you have checked that is the correct action.

You should back up your files before installing Windows.
