Give this a run, and see if it picks up any traces of the NVIDIA drivers. 

Do this.

Hey everyone, a few months back I deleted all of my Nvidia drivers when I got my 290, but recently when I check for windows updates it wants me to update the Nvidia graphics adapter WDDM1.2 for my old 680. I cannot for the life of me find any traces of Nvidia drivers on my pc. Could anyone help me out with this? Thanks!

Go to your C: drive, look in Program Files, Program Files (x86) and Program Data. For Program Data to show up, you need to enable the show all files option. To do that, click on Organize at the top left, click on Folder and Search Options, go to the View tab and look for the "Hidden files and folders" section and select the option to show the files and folders.

 

Check those three folders for any Nvidia folders and delete them then reboot.

 

 

 

EDIT: Nevermind.
