Nvidia installer failed

Sliporino · February 2, 2021

Hello.Yesterday after a game session I tried to update my nvidia driver through Nvidia experience and it failed. Then I tried to manually install it and I got the same message. Then I tried to let windows do it for me and nothing. Then I did a clean install with DDU in safe mode with network cable plugged out and after that I got the same message. It just installs until a point when the GPU is refreshing I think (like a blank screen for a second on my monitor, everytime when updates it does that, so it's normal I think) then the message appears. I don't know what to. Please help me.

download and run DDU for everything, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, reboot, then try installing.

If it still doesn't work, reformat and do a clean install of Windows.

I did a replace windows installation and thank God it finally worked after all this time spent with this issue. Now my GPU can be recognized on Device manager. Thank you so much. I spoke even with the nvidia support team from this point and they told me to check another PCI Express port and I didn't want to go that far because yesterday everything was all right until I normally tried to update my driver with Nvidia Experience. They didn't suggest me to try and reinstall windows because of their "windows is not my business" thing. Stupid nvidia support, they are just for the sake of having support for customers, but they don't care about helping you how it should. This is my opinion... Thank you again.

Glad that solved it! Yeah, I swear reformatting your boot drive and reinstalling windows is not that big of a deal, and it fixes so many problems. That's always been the case with windows, since the dawn of time.

MacOS doesn't seem to have the same fate, but it's not immune to it either. I reformat my 3 macbooks at least 4 times a year
