GPU suddenly not working

I had just installed the new NVidia drivers for the gtx 1060 laptop version and when I check task manager when I'm playing a game, its always below 5%. I tried disabling the intel integrated graphics but now its using the Microsoft basic display driver. I tried uninstalling the 1060 drivers thru device manager, restarted and reinstalled them but that fixed nothing and when I try launching NVidia control panel, it says you are currently not using a display attached to an NVidia GPU. Does anyone know a fix?

Check to see if the manufacturer has any specific driver updates for your laptop, I was having a similar issue with my Dell XPS 15, with a 1050 inside, and I had to get some specific driver updates directly from dell which seemed to fix it.

ive already checked, I think it might have to do with another problem I had where I reset my laptop to a previous date then had to install a NVidia driver again
