Nvidia Graphics Driver Won T Install Windows 10

Alright, i have quite the peculiar problem. I started off with a clean install of windows. I am now running on windows ver 1709. Basically, I've tried to install the latest nvidia driver for my asus gtx 780 gpu, but everytime it's installing, my computer blacks out, restarts, and the driver is not installed. I successfully installed it in safe mode, but when i try to start my computer normally, it wouldn't start, instead, it tells me that windows didn't load correctly. Once this happens, i have no choice but to go back into safe mode, DDU and restart.

I can't really find the c heck box that says, 'Delete the driver software for this device.” anyway, after i uninstalled the device, after awhile, the same thing happened. The screen blacks out, and restarts. Method 3: At this point, i accidentally clicked update driver automatically, and i had to go through the safe mode, DDU, so that i can boot normally.

The nvidia installer simply fails when checking for system compatibility. Could this simply be a hardware fault? Any help would be appreciated.

One question. Do you use defender? Have you noticed if windows defender pops up when trying to install your driver? I had it block my intel driver update through its controlled folder access. Open defender from taskbar if you use it. Open virus and threat protection >>open virus and threat protection settings>>scroll down to controlled folder access and switch it off.

Do you have an onboard intel chip on that motherboard? Hp Sata Drivers Windows 10. I am at a loss.

If you left the nvidia driver in (not DDU) it away could you then go in to display adapter properties and then choose the update driver, let me pick and choose your driver? Probably this has been tried too I suppose. Have you tried asking on Nvidia site to see if there is someone with more experience there that can help? Please run dxdiag in admin mode type dxdiag in search and right click to run as administrator This will show you information about all multimedia drivers installed. I read in one of the posts here that someone had to do the driver install 9 times before it took. This was his explanation>>>you don't need to restart you pc or update the driver just uninstall the driver then scan for hardware changes i did these two steps several time about ten or more and suddenly it changed to 8.970.100.9001 >>>>>>spent a day tweaking things in hopes I could figure out what was causing the issues.

It might be too early to tell, but it seems like the problems are gone now. I tried a lot of stuff so I'm not 100% sure what exactly it was that seemingly resolved my problems, but I'm pretty sure I narrowed it to one of two things: 1. Turned off the game bar entirely by setting 'Record game clips, screenshots, and broadcast using Game bar' to off.

Prevented the new 'people' feature from loading at startup. Have any of you tried these things? Luckily I have no use for either of these things so I'll just leave them off for now until Microsoft fixes this on their end. I'll report back if I run into the issue again.

The post ended November 24th though. Did you first check compatibility of your computer from the make and model manufacturers page for windows 10 FCU. If you saved 1703 I would roll back and wait until compatibility is reported for your system. Is there an update for the BIOS for your computer? Maybe you can just wait this out to see if Microsoft makes this compatible with a new driver. Or try an older driver in compatibility mode. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A person on this forum has supplied this answer on another thread where a person is having a problem like yours.

That is why I had asked you if you had upgraded to 10 from 8. This may be a limitation of your hardware. How long since you installed 1709? Can you go back? Did you save an install disk of 1703? Update: I managed to get a clean install of windows ver 1703 (from windowsiso) and disabled the game recording, game bar stuff. DISM came back 100%.

However, the problem persists. I have the latest BIOS according to my motherboard's manufacturer's website. I tried both the latest, as well as a previous version of nvidia driver and both of them gave the same, disappointing results. Also, windows defender does not pop up when i try to install the graphics driver. I too cannot understand why this is happening since i have been using windows 10 prior to this and it worked fine. Well that is disappointing. So you are on 1703 now and you are still messed up.

Can you drop back even further to 1607? (was it 1607)?

Install the drivers cause I think 1607 was still pretty permissive with drivers. Then block those driver updates and start updating. After each update make sure they are still blocked. If that is not possible then we will move on. Take a look at your monitor and see if it is listing the right monitor.

There are some reddit posts about not having the correct monitor showing in device manager. The monitor in almost every case is a LG monitor and it is being speculated that maybe this is part of the problem they cannot get the correct monitor installed because of a windows glitch (whats new) and therefore the driver won't install because the monitor will not support the driver.

This glitch happened after fall creators update. I seen it earlier today in a post here.

I do wish now that I had saved the url for you. Maybe I will run across it again. A google search may show results for the reddit post. A Microsoft technician was on talking with them and had a page up for them to fill out questions for them to fill out to help him track down the problem. These were people with nvidia cards in their computer and having the same problems you are. Do you have notifications on for defender? Have you tried any of the windows troubleshooters?

Open settings >>update and security and scroll down to the troubleshooters. Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter. Try any of them you think might help. It won't hurt. Sorry if we are going over territory you have already tried.

I don't want to seem that I am grasping at straws for you but I think at this point we are. Anyway the problem has not gone away so it won't hurt to try more troubleshooting. Did you try running DxDiag? DxDiag may give us some more troubleshooting tools. Type dxdiag in cortana search bar then right click it to choose to run in admin mode. There is a way to turn off driver verifier so windows will install unsigned drivers though I doubt your drivers are unsigned. I have never personally done it but have read that it can be disabled to be able to run a driver that windows doesnt approve of but I don't know if there would be more problems after that.

Microsoft really needs to work on this one fast. There are still a lot of people in your boat. What a freaking mess. Ok on a different post I read today a person said he resolved his problem by not doing a custom install and but used express settings. Who knows maybe we will get this worked out yet. On a few other posts some said they had to run the drivers over and over again until it took.

One guy ran them 9 times before the drivers would install. Another thing since you have switchable graphics (am I correct? ) or two cards? There might be a driver order.I am probably repeating myself by now. Hang in there.
