Hi @Psychotropic Resonance,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform, thanks for posting your query here.

If you have already installed the Nvidia GPU drivers and are still facing issues, you can try the following steps:

• Check if the Nvidia GPU is enabled in the device manager.
• Check if the Nvidia GPU is selected as the default GPU for your applications.
• Open the Device Manager on your VM and make sure that your NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU is listed under "Display adapters" without any errors or warnings.
• Ensure that you have installed the latest NVIDIA GPU drivers that are compatible with your GPU model and the operating system you are using.

Sometimes, it's necessary to uninstall the existing drivers completely before installing new ones. Use tools like "Display Driver Uninstaller" to remove existing drivers and then install the latest drivers. Hope these troubleshooting steps help in resolving your issue.
