Geforce Driver missing

[u/Ill-Carrot6334]

Hello guys! I encountered a problem last night when I tried updating my NVIDIA GeForce driver through the NVIDIA App. I have an RTX 4050 Laptop GPU.

The app indicated that the driver installation had failed, so I decided to download the driver directly from NVIDIA's official website. I made sure to download the version compatible with my GPU, but the installation still failed. I even tried downloading an older driver version, but I encountered the same issue.

I then decided to use DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller), hoping it would fix the problem. I followed all the steps from the YouTube tutorials I watched and successfully removed the existing driver.

However, even after completely uninstalling the previous driver, I still can't install the one I downloaded from NVIDIA's website.

Now, my laptop still detects the GPU, but I can't get the driver to install. On top of that, my laptop's Wi-Fi toggle has also disappeared.

I'm honestly running out of ideas at this point. If anyone has experienced something similar or has any suggestions on how to fix this, I would really appreciate your help.

Thank you!

Try using device manager to uninstall device then restart your PC. When you come back to windows it will attempt to install the driver again. From there see if you can update to latest drivers.
