April 2, 201610 yr @Rich Downloaded from Nvidia's own site, a Windows 10 64-bit driver 358.87 WHQL approved. Tried that driver link, and that was the start of all my woes. Going to try what that post at Nvidia suggest. @ Hans Regrettably, do not have an on-board Gfx port on this Asus motherboard. @Mike Don't have a previous image, just a series of Restore Points. And I have restored back to when FSL installed VisualStudio to enable their ConcordeX to install in FSX-SE. Rick Almeida
April 2, 201610 yr @Rich Downloaded from Nvidia's own site, a Windows 10 64-bit driver 358.87 WHQL approved. Tried that driver link, and that was the start of all my woes. 358.87 good info but not right ---------- As stated you need to get a stable 364.72 installed before you can play with going backwards and use the process that I e-mailed you to go backwards - will not work the way you are doing it now Have you ever had a stable 364.72 working ? will that install ? that driver (358.87) is to old - try 361.91 - its an excellent driver - its what I use at the moment Rich Sennett
April 2, 201610 yr Rick, have you tried the full uninstall in safe mode and restart in VGA mode? Hans
April 2, 201610 yr Rick, have you tried the full uninstall in safe mode and restart in VGA mode? Trying to get to Safe Mode but not sure how in Windows 10. In Win7, it was F8 keystroke. Tried that with Win10 and it just goes straight into the GUI, bypassing Safe Mode. Thanks, Rich. Just going to try that now. Rick Almeida
April 2, 201610 yr It's under the recovery settings but DDU shows you the option to boot into safe mode and if you choose this option it will automatically reboot into safe mode from which you can continue the driver clean-up. Hans
April 2, 201610 yr Okay, I figured how to get into Safe Mode. Deleted everything with a tag Nvidia Now, going to try and install the driver version that Rich advised to get. Will update Danke, again, Hans. Rick Almeida
April 2, 201610 yr While reading all this about driver update and rollback issues I am asking me isn't it safe enough to create a "system restore point" and do a windows system restore if anything goes wrong with driver update? - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
April 2, 201610 yr @Hans Did as you suggested-----still no further forward. And that is where I am getting stuck in a loop. Rick Almeida
April 2, 201610 yr Strange. Seems that Windows wants to install its driver once it has detected the card. What does the NVIDIA installer say now? I can offer a teamviewer session if you like. Back at my desk in about an hour. Hans
April 2, 201610 yr Strange. Seems that Windows wants to install its driver once it has detected the card. What does the NVIDIA installer say now? I can offer a teamviewer session if you like. Back at my desk in about an hour. Still stuck. This is what Device Manager shows up. Yes, please, if you can TV. Send me a PM and I will send you the TV login details. Rick Almeida
April 2, 201610 yr Really sorry for you Rick. Remove your GPU from its socket and power On your computer without card. Do not worry about the beeps. Then shut down and put it back in place. This should force Win10 to accept a new driver. - PC Hardware: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D // Asus ROG Crosshair X870E HERO // 2x32Gb Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5 6000MT/s CL30 // ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 OC Edition // 4Tb Corsair NVMe M.2 MP600 // Corsair 1600W PSU Samsung Odyssey Arc 55" curved 165 Hz monitor. - Simulator Hardware: VIRPIL Constellation Alpha Prime + VIRPIL VPC Universal Control Panel - #3 + MOZA AY210 Force Feedback Yoke + WINWING URSA MINOR 32 Throttle & PAC Metal + WINWING SKYWALKER Metal Rudder Pedals + WINWING Airbus FCU & EFIS + WINWING Boeing 3N PAP + WINWING MCDU-32 + WINWING PFP-4 + WINWING PFP 3-N + WINWING PFP-7.
April 2, 201610 yr While reading all this about driver update and rollback issues I am asking me isn't it safe enough to create a "system restore point" and do a windows system restore if anything goes wrong with driver update? Using system restore to fix a screw up in GPU drivers is an act of desperation in my opinion and rarely if ever works. The best thing to do, if you have a driver that is already working well and you decide to "fix it" anyway, is make sure you have a copy of your working driver than you can install if the new one screws up your flight sim. Then uninstall your current driver with a good driver cleaner, reboot, and install the new version. If you see that you made a mistake, uninstall the new one with the driver cleaner, reboot again and reinstall the one you had that worked.
