Posted October 15, 2020 Hey guys, I just got the spectre 35" curved ultrawide 21:9 3440*1440 monitor (this one on amazon) and when I tried to open the NVIDIA control panel it wouldn't work. I used the NVIDIA experience thing to check that it was at 100hz, and surprise surprise it was only at 60hz. So trying to get it to 100hz I tried the wipe and reinstall option in the installer and it failed. So I tried DDU and reinstall, but it failed, however windows update installed it first, but that wouldn't let me open NVIDIA control panel either. So I disconnected from the internet DDUed again, then attempted to install and it failed So I DDUed, deleted remaining files, and attempted to install JUST the drivers. No Physx, no audio devices, nothing but the drivers and it failed. What should I try to get NVIDIA control panel working, or is there any workaround to getting the monitor to 100hz? Tried installing 456.71 Please "Quote" me if you want me to see your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 15, 2020 In the past, I have had to install the Nvidia control panel directly from the Microsoft store. Have you tried that? Also have you made sure the cable used for the monitor (or rather, the port) is adequate? And you're not using an adapter? I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need?

Its a GTX 1070 so it should be DP 1.4 ready and upto the current standard, right? Please "Quote" me if you want me to see your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Display port should definitely not give issues so we can rule that out I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Posted October 15, 2020 Author Ok, after actually reading the error I found a workaround. The error is that the file does not exist. The workaround was installing the take ownership hack from How-To Geek, navigating to C:\Program Files and using Take Ownership on WindowsApps (hidden folder), then navigating to the NVIDIA folder in the WindowsApps folder, then manually launching nvCplUI.exe. This does not fix the issue on the context menu, but it is a workaround. Please "Quote" me if you want me to see your response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
