Damaged or Missing WMI Service Prevents NVIDIA Driver Installation
Issue
"Install failed" or "Install Failed, could not find compatible graphics hardware" message may appear during installation, even if the system has a compatible graphics card. This can occur when installing the NVIDIA driver or GeForce Experience software.
Cause
This issue could be the result of a corrupt WMI service on your system. The NVIDIA Installer requires the WMI service to properly install the driver or other NVIDIA software.
Resolution
You must repair the WMI service on your system in order to successfully install NVIDIA drivers. A future driver release will alert the user during installation that there is a problem with the WMI service on the system.
Total Available Graphics Memory Reported Incorrectly
Background–TAG Memory
In the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM), Total Available Graphics (TAG) memory is reported as the sum of
• Dedicated Video Memory (video memory dedicated for graphics use)
• Dedicated System Memory (system memory dedicated for graphics use), and
• Shared System Memory (system memory shared between the graphics subsystem and the CPU).
The values for each of these components are computed according to WDDM guidelines when the NVIDIA Display Driver is loaded.
Issue
Some TAG-reporting APIs represent video memory using 32-bits instead of 64-bits, and consequently do not properly report available graphics memory when the TAG would otherwise exceed 4 gigabytes (GB). This results in under reporting of available memory and potentially undesirable behavior of applications that rely on these APIs to report available memory.
The under reporting can be extreme. For example, 6 GB might be reported as 454 MB, and 8 GB might be reported as 1259 MB.
