New Nvidia Control Panel Download
Latrisha Adan
For our environment (yours may be different) saving this as RegisterNvidiaControlPanel.ps1 and running as the user (not admin) in the session allows users to open control panel. Obviously you could script it to run for them if it solves your issue. Here is the command which you should verify has the correct version/path for your environment:
So I talked to tech support and we tried uninstalling/reinstalling both the newest driver (419.17) and and 412.29. I updated Windows 10 in order to download the control panel through the microsoft store (and met the requirements). When I try to launch it through there one of two things happens with pop up errors.
I am having a similar situation. However, my workstation has two quadro P 2000. I can see it in the device manager which also says that the hardware is running properly but I cannot access the NVIDIA control panel. I can neither see it by right-clicking the desktop or nor at the windows control panel. When I try installing the drivers, the screen either goes black (with old driver) or it shows an error message with Nvidia driver not supported.
Everything is up todate, from Windows Update to Armoury Crate and GeForce Experience. I've encountered some issues and would like to know if they are serious, if anyone else has experienced the same, or if, straight up, this is grounds to request a warranty exchange or refund.
While gaming, I don't have any issues... but occasionally, when browsing on Edge, I notice 'blackouts' on my screen for no apparent reason (This usually happens after putting the computer in sleep mode). These blackouts are associated with a switch in output between the internal Intel graphics and the NVIDIA GPU (The PC was configured in GPU Optimized mode in Armoury Crate). These blackouts completely render my browser unusable. In fact, everything freezes... even without doing anything, the resolution starts 'acting up,' shifting to lower resolutions so glitchily that it doesn't even allow me to restart the system safely... so I opt to force it with the power button.
The same thing happened after leaving the PC in sleep mode (and unplugged)... screen blackouts, Edge rendered useless and unresponsive (not even the task manager can close it in that state)... but, upon restarting, it booted up only with the Intel GPU (I noticed due to the dismal gaming performance)... and the most alarming part was that the NVIDIA control panel wasn't appearing in the toolbar!!! Running 'dxdiag' also didn't show it, only the integrated Intel card. Needless to say, I got scared, especially since, in that state, GeForce Experience recommended updating drivers, and when attempting, it said 'my system was not compatible with the update'...
Have you tried uninstalling Armory Crate while looking for the causes of these strange and disturbing computer states? I have the same hardware configuration and the latest version of Armory Crate was also a complete failure for me. Luckily, I make system backups.
Which even the repair place I sent it too couldn't get it working after trying everything, they are telling me it's a motherboard problem and I best go shopping for a new laptop cause the price of the Motherboard is the same as the new laptop. Oh and it's only 2.5 years old.
It makes me so frustrated... this is only the second laptop I've had in my life... I saved a lot to have it... and my previous laptop, which is low-end, is still working after 10 darn years!... And without ever taking it to a tech service!!!!... And when I finally got the money to buy something that's supposed to be 'mid-high-range,' thinking, I don't know: 'it will last at least another 10 years'... turns out, in less than 3 months, I start having ridiculous glitches xd (and without messing with anything, without opening it up, without using unknown third-party software. Nothing at all)... not to mention all the issues and concerns from users I see on the forum ... Now it seems increasingly evident that this thing won't last more than 3 years, as you rightly say... it's insane!... What the heck is going on with the PC-gaming community that they don't warn about these issues, and before, they seem ecstatic about RGB lights, aggressive designs, and the numbers that come after the models of the CPUs and GPUs?... Do they only worry about the thrill of the moment and the novelty...? ... I can't change equipment every two years... I'm not a millionaire... that's not fair... do those who design them not thoroughly check them?
The difference between low-end and high-end laptops goes to hell if the supposed better one lasts less than a lower-capacity one... Now I'm thinking about returning it, giving a middle finger to the PC-gaming world, and going back to consoles XD.
