#ACCESS DENIED NVIDIA CONTROL PANEL
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
If you're encountering issues with the NVIDIA Control Panel unable to apply settings with an "Access Denied" error, or NVIDIA App settings changes/DLSS overrides automatically reverting, please try a driver with the bug fixed.
-
Download a driver that has the bug fixed. DO NOT RUN THE PACKAGE YET.
-
Download the manual version of DDU.

Disconnect from the Internet. Use another device to view Discord, or screenshot these instructions.
-
Use the manual version of DDU to fully remove drivers. Extract all files from the DDU zip file, run the self-extracting archive EXE inside it, then in the newly created DDU folder, run Display Driver Uninstaller.. Accept default options without changing anything when the settings window shows up, and select GPU in the drop down at the right, then NVIDIA (if it selected something else, usually laptops with AMD iGPUs). Click Clean and restart at the left.
-
Once the PC restarts, run the driver package installer you downloaded in the first step.
-
Before opening NVIDIA App, reconnect to the Internet
Check if it's now possible to make changes to NVIDIA Control Panel game profiles and NVIDIA App as expected.
I dont understand very good the process
wait so i have to download the bug fixed driver but
it executes automatically?
or i have to start it
you are on an obsolete, bugged driver if you are still seeing that error
simply update your drivers
you probably don't need to do all the steps there, but if it's still broken, then do everything in the bot message
Thats what i did, i installed them like 1 week ago
Please report your current driver version
this is a five digit number
click the home button at the top here
it should tell you what version you're on right now
yep
you probably didn't actually update anything last week
time to update
Maybe, idk
Driver Version: 572.83 | WHQL
Release Date: Tue Mar 18, 2025
so instead of doing the thing that bot says
i just start installing the new ones
if that fixes it, you're done
Ill try
And the 572.70 when got released so i remember when i updated it bc i thinked i updated it like 1-2 weeks ago
(My english sucks tbh so u may see some spelling mistakes)
Anyway ill text in this chat if it works
It fixed, tysm.
