Laptop GPU Driver refuses to update

[cheeki_freedi]

My GeForce 820M GPU kinda refuses to update. The version I have currently is 391.35 WHQL - [r391_33]. I have tried DDU and tried installing the latest drivers but it doesn't allow it. It only installs the driver I mentioned above. It played CS:GO with no problems at all having over 120FPS when the mentioned driver was the latest but now it barely goes over 75FPS. My laptop's graphics performance really slowed down. I hope there's a solution to this.

 

My laptop's an ASUS X550LD, bought around the second quarter of 2015, was Windows 8 but then updated to Windows 10 64-bit, Intel Core i5-4210U (yes really old), 4GB of DDR3 RAM, 500GB HDD, and my GeForce 820M 2GB DDR3.

What do you mean when you say it doesn't allow it, did it show a error message or anything?

He included a screenshot.

 

Have you contacted Nvidia support? Asus support? Older drivers?

What update of windows are you running 1803?

I had similar issues with my GTX1060 for a while until a Windows update fixed it. I had to do a workaround grabbing the hwid of my GPU and manually adding it into the .inf.

 

Try installing a driver from a year or two ago, then patch up to a more recent version. If that doesn't work, give this a shot

 

If neither of those two solutions work, then you'll need to follow the fix I had to apply. You can find a walkthrough here.

Force check for windows updates.

If nothing shows up, I'd personnaly wipe that windows install and start all over since you upgraded from win8 to win10.

This might not be an option for you but that's what I'd do.

Good luck
