My computer usually uses the processor integrated graphics, but not with the nvidia gtx 1660 graphics card that I have, windows is fully updated and the card does not appear in the device manager unless it puts show hiddens and it reflects the following: Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer. (Code 45). Usually I have to turn on the computer, wait for awhile and then restart for it to appear in the device manager. Please could you help me, thank you very much in advance.

    On this link, click one of the two green Donwload Mirror links to get DDU and avoid any of the advert links on that web page.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    The best option is to completely remove the current Nvidia device driver using the widely available free DDU utility, then restart your PC and go to the Nvidia website to download and install a couple of slightly older version of the Nvidia device driver to try to find a version that is stable on your system.

    A slightly older version of that driver is more stable than the latest version.
