Just click on the "Reveal hidden contents" and you'll see what you need.

Your card is GTX 10 series since it's 1050.

You should probably Uninstall your old drivers first with DDU

If you want to keep Geforce Experience then, select the first option. Otherwise the second.

Here you can just click next.

 

 

Then you are done. Restart your PC and it's all up to date.

It's useful if you are having issues with wonky drivers but, it's not necessary. The driver installer itself has a "clean install" option now which is nice.

To be honest, I never needed DDU but, it is a good tool.

Your driver is definitely up to date since you just updated it but, if you want to make sure just go to programs in settings and search for Nvidia.

You'll see the version number next to it. In this case, it's 417.35

 

Also, just delete Geforce Experience and download the latest drivers every now and then,

Well I mean, if you just installed the latest drivers I would say your all good. Also if you want to keep GeForce Experience then try reinstalling it

I don't know much about recording but, there are better alternatives out there for sure.

If you have a use for Geforce Experience then, keep it. It's just generally considered bloatware and useless.
