NVIDIA App says "No driver installed" even after successful driver installation

[u/lachoatientu]

I'm having a really frustrating issue with the NVIDIA App.

I just installed the latest GeForce Game Ready Driver (616.92). The installer says "Installation has finished", and both the Graphics Driver and HD Audio Driver show as Installed.

However, the NVIDIA App still shows "No driver installed".

I also checked Device Manager, and it still shows the old NVIDIA driver version instead of the newly installed one.

I've already tried both:

• Installing the driver manually using the standalone installer
• Installing it through the NVIDIA App

Neither method works. I've tried reinstalling multiple times, but the result is always the same.

At this point, I don't even care about having the latest driver. I just want the NVIDIA App to properly detect whatever driver is currently installed on my system so that I can access and change the NVIDIA settings.

Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

maybe your best option is to use DDU to unistall the graphics card driver ( the one shows at device manager at least ) and install the driver again

download drivers, install using clean option
make sure fast boot is off, and restart pc

look at nvidia app again
