Posted March 1, 2019 Reset my PC and installed all my new drivers but there's no Nvidia Control panel? Only my Geforce experience. (I can't take a screenshot of my little task bar thingy bc it doesnt let me) I tried DDU to fully reinstall drivers but no luck either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 1, 2019 It happens from time to time. Just download and reinstall the drivers "And I'll be damned if I let myself trip from a lesser man's ledge" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted March 1, 2019 I managed to find this solution online straight from Nvidia themselves.... Step 1: Open My Computer and follow the below-given folder path: Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\Display.NvContainer Note: If you cannot locate the NVIDIA folder in Program Files (x86) folder, look for it in Program Files folder. Step 2: In the Display.NvContainer folder, you will find a file named Display.NvContainer. Right click on it and select the Copy option. Step 3: Open Startup Folder. To do that, Press Windows + R keys together and open Run box. In the Run box, type shell:startup and press Enter button. Step 4: In the Startup folder that opened, do a right-click and Paste the copied Display.NvContainer file. Step 5: Right-click on the Display.NvContainer file you pasted in Startup folder, and select the Properties option. Step 6: In the Properties window, go to the Compatibility tab. There, you will get a Run this program as administrator check mark option; select it. Then click Ok to apply the settings. After completing these steps, restart your PC to find the missing NVIDIA Control Panel back on your desktop context menu and system tray.

Posted March 4, 2019 The whole guide on how to find Nvidia controll panel. The problem: some people cant find their cp settings anywhere from their pc and some have trouble dowloading the latest drivers from Nvidia. This tutorial will erase all older Nvidia drives that are installed on your computer that interfear with the new one. Then you dowloae the latest driver, and get a clean install. Then it should work and nvidia cp should be accessible through right click on home first u have to dowload (dont apply/set up it yet) your nvidia driver from nvidias site. Then you have to dowload DDU that removes all older nvidia drivers that are still messing up your computer. https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html Remember! dont apply dem yet, just keep them in a folder or startup (home site). choose the version of the country you live in. If you live outside the mentioned countries you can choosing any of them, it works aswell (I live outside the mentioned countries and i chose England) Now enter windows safe mode by restarting your pc. In the lockscreen you should press on SHIFT and restart, this will transfer you to a blue option screen. Now press on (troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> more -> startup settings) Press restart and go to "4" safe mode by pressing f4. Be sure you dont have network connection Now when you are in the safe windows mode run Guru3d DDU (the dowload file is hidden inside the file folder, so search for somethin i guess says "display driver uninstaller" in the right cornes choose (GPU) Then press where it says "unistall and restart". when you come back to normal windows you can now "activate" the new nvidia driver that was mentioned in the beginning. (IMPORTANT) When you are finishing the install, remeber to choose "advanced option" in the installation options. Put a cross in the box that says it will set all nvidia drivers to normal and remove all older drivers and profiles. Now finish the installation and Nvidia controll panell should be located in right click on home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
