Can't Install nVidia Windows 11 Geforce Driver

Hi,

I have discovered that my nVidia driver is missing since upgrading to Win11, so I attempted to download the latest from nVidia Experience only to be told that the latest version, which is reported by them to be compatible with Win11, is not compatible.

I've attempted to use both the nVidia Experience app and to download the driver manually from nVidia. I've also tried the Game Ready Driver and the Studio Driver - neither can be installed, with the same error being reported:

For info I have a Surface Book 3 (nVidia GTX 1650 GPU)

There's either an issue with nVidia with their drivers, or an issue with Win11, not least since my previous driver has been removed, disabling my GPU.

I see that this has been previously reported... is this a Windows issue?

    Hi Elise,

    Thanks for the offer of help.

    Yes, I've tried that file and it comes up with the error

    I've also tried an older version, and the latest version of the Studio drivers - same thing.

    No reply from nVidia, and no official reply from Microsoft, which is very disappointing to say the least. In the end the only way to know whether the issue was hardware or software was to wipe my drive (because roll-back isn't possible) and install Win10...and low and behold as soon as I did the card started working. Definitely a Win11/nVidia driver issue, and until this is recognised and a fix issued that's my rather uninspiring and venture into Win11 over.

    Hmm... There doesn't seem to be much more of a choice, I agree. nVidia's support page doesn't seem to be working properly, so I can't raise a ticket with them, although I have posted in their community forums in case anyone's come across something similar.

    The strange thing is the now driverless GPU is not showing in my Device Manager...

    I'm really hoping this is a driver issue and not a hardware failure.

    I have the same problem. How did you solve?
