I believe that is because there are just three DLL files in C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\coprocmanager, and no other files/directories in coprocmanager's parent directory. Yet the "NVIDIA Control Panel" app is still in the start menu, but does not start. There are no NVIDIA listings under "Uninstall a Program" in the Control Panel. It'd take a long time for me to do all of that again. This is my work PC, so I don't have a huge amount of time to reinstall Windows, so I'd rather not do that, as I have various customisations in place, and lots of programs installed.
NVIDIA GRAPHICS DRIVER INSTALL LOG INSTALL
I am still stuck with one working monitor, reduced graphical performance, and am unable to install the NVIDIA driver. Same as before, except I let Windows find the driver online automatically, I presume it found the same files I had already downloaded, and downloaded them again. I tried again, it failed again.įrom device manager, I right clicked on the GPU, and clicked "Update Driver Software", I opted to browse for driver files, with "Check subfolders" checked, and navigated to C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\368.39\ and clicked "OK". It said there was a NVIDIA driver update available, so began the update process. I opened Windows Update to check for updates, since this can often fix failed driver installs. Note, I also tried "Run As Administrator". This is the first thing I tried, I restarted the computer, waited a while, and then I ran the NVIDIA driver installer, I selected "Custom Install", and then I ticked the "Clean Install" checkbox. Now I only have one usable monitor, the other is not detected, yet it turns on briefly as Windows initially loads the desktop. I ran the installation as you normally would only to be met with the error "NVIDIA Installer Failed", and it told me the "Graphics Driver" failed to install. I went to the NVIDIA website, downloaded the 64-bit Windows 10 driver for the GT 720 GPU. The NVIDIA graphics driver on this PC is several versions out of date, so I went to upgrade it due to an unrelated issue.
