Windows 11 does not detect my Nvidia graphics card

Hi,

I have been using Windows 11 for quite some time, Suddenly one day I see my secondary Nvidia graphics card is not detected. Its not displayed in Device manager (even if I select "show hidden devices").

Also, in device manager below System component is showing error code 10.

intel pcie controller x16 1901

I tried reinstalling graphics card driver. Driver reinstallation does not detect my Nvidia graphics card.

I tried updating driver for above PCIe controller. But is already up to date.

I have not changed anything in BIOS. I tried defaulting the Bios values but dint work. ( My Nvidia card is detected in BIOS, only windows 11 has problem)

I tried backing out recent windows updates, dint work. I again updated all latest updates and optional driver updates suggested, dint work.

Since the card is detected in Bios, I am assuming its not an issue with hardware.

I have been doing some research, and in many places I see the PCIe controller issue associated with detection of graphics card.

Please help me resolve this issue.

    Yup :-)

    I found the solution.

    I did everything, I did a fresh windows install, and nothing, downloaded all drives and nothing..

    FINALLY :-)

    Download Armoury Crate, its came with the TUF, open that up. On the left hand side, click on Devices.

    Then go to GPU PowerSaving.

    You will see Standard, Eco Mode, and Optimized. If its already on Standard, click Optimized, exit application, go back, and select Standard Eco Mode, and exit application. :-O And just like that, the NVIDIA GPU is back on my Device Managers. :/ SAD, not even Asus could help me out. They wanted me to send the laptop in.

    OH MY GOD. That actually does work hahaha. That is unbelievable though. With every method tried before I had lost hope but this is truly clutched it. Massive thanks to you, truly legendary and I was really hoping the GPU wasnt actullay dead or anything lmao. Not all heros wear capes 😎 But what a stupid fix for the gpu isnt it. ASUS really need to get their act together on this one :/ LOL

    Have the exact same problem with my ASUS TUF GAMING A15 Laptop (FA506BICB), had put my laptop through a hard windows 11 reset, and still doesnt wanna show up in Device Manager, even after reinstalling the drivers from the product website.

    If anyone has any solutions apart from reinstalling the drivers, and resetting the PC, would love to hear it. Cheers!

    Did this ever get solved? I am running into the same issue. I have a ASUS TUF Gaming A17 TUF706QE-MS74 17.3" Laptop, and from one day to another, I don't see the NVIDIA GPU. I see it in the BIO, but not under the device manager.

    Thank you

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have updated my Windows 11 to Version 22H2 couple of weeks back. After this there was no issues wrt Graphics card. I got this issue with graphics card not detecting only 2 days back.

    Yesterday, after driver updates dint work, I have used System restore to backout last update (Version 22H2).

    This did not help me in fixing the issue.

    Some forums advised me to update windows to latest version and install all optional driver updates suggested by Windows. So, I updated windows again to Version 22H2 and installed all optional updates. This did not help me as well.
