Nvidia GPU drivers not updating

[ashtaroth]

Specs:

Win 10 64bit (V. 1709 build 16299.64)

i7-4820k

16gb ram

x79 Rampage IV Gene

SLI Titan X (Maxwell)

 

So I've tried updating to 388.31 drivers from 385.69 the other day and it installs fine then after the restart when I right click on the desktop I cant see the Nvidia Control panel. When I go to Geforce Exp it tells me to install 388.31 which I just installed. When I go to the CP and click the NvCp it doesn't open. When I click programs and features everything is installed.  When i go to device manager I get a Code 43!

So I used DDU for uninstalling the old drivers. I thought windows was the problem at first because I was on V. 1703 so I updated. I tried 387.92, 388, 388.13 (which was the first culprit) Nope, Nada. Downgrading works though. Now I'm stuck on 385.69! Which has no real issues aside from losing desktop overlay from GFExp! I can play fine for hours with no issues though so I was just wondering if:

 

Anybody else has this issue?

Are drivers borked?

Any Ideas or fixes?

Have you updated to the Creator's Update recently?  I'm having the problem of one of my cards not playing with my PCIe controller nicely.  We have fairly similar setups. 4th Gen Intel chipset, SLI Maxwell.  Go take a peek in Device Manager, are any of your cards throwing up flags?

It started even when I was on build 1703 and yes I’ve updated to the latest. And yes again the “triangle !” which gives a code 43 when installing anything higher than 385.69. Other than that cards work fine. I lost desktop overlay because it requires 387.92 and higher on 1709.
