    When upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8, the system fails to retrieve the installed WHQL display driver. [1024416]
    See the Microsoft KB article KB2743349 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2743349.
     
     
    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.
     
     
    NVIDIA PhysX System Software Cannot Be Installed or Uninstalled in Windows Safe Mode
    Issue
    The NVIDIA PhysX System Software is not included in the NVIDIA driver installation/uninstallation under safe mode.
    Explanation
    The NVIDIA PhysX System Software installer is not compatible with Microsoft's policy for Windows Safe Mode. Consequently, installation or uninstallation of the PhysX System Software under safe mode would fail. To allow installation or uninstallation of the graphics driver under safe mode, the NVIDIA PhysX System Software is blocked from the process.
     
    Do Not Use Windows Rollback for Graphics Drivers
    To reinstall a previous or older NVIDIA graphics driver, do not use the Windows rollback feature. This method will not reliably restore all the previous driver files.
    Instead, use the Windows Add and Remove programs to remove the current driver, and then install the older driver using setup.exe.
     
    Uninstalling Drivers Using Device Manager is Not Supported
    Issue
    On all supported versions of Microsoft Windows, uninstalling the NVIDIA driver using the Windows Device Manager may not remove associated files or applications.
    Explanation
    Microsoft has confirmed that this behavior is by design. If you wish to uninstall the NVIDIA driver, it is recommended that you do so using Add and Remove programs.
    See the Microsoft KB article 2278714.
     
    1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz Not Available on BenQ FP241W Monitors
    Even though the monitor EDID lists 1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz, the screen turns blank when using an HDMI connection. This is an issue with the monitor and not the NVIDIA driver.
    Because of this issue with the monitor, the NVIDIA driver blocks the problem mode (1280 × 1024 @ 60 Hz) and makes it unavailable.
     
     
    Beta, Older drivers and more.

    since I'm going crazy with the new drivers, I hope someone can help me ... The install process of 418.91 fails, 418.81 too. My 2080ti evga only likes the 417.35 version. This one I can install and reinstall without problems 100 time.... I am so desperate when I don't understand why. I use ddu and safe mode before... not work. do you know how can I do? help me please...

    Try the Revo uninstaller "Pro" free 30 day software
     
    https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstaller_free_download.html
     
    In programs and features did you select each Nvidia named download to delete? You can try that first then use your DDU. Then go though file explorer to delete any associated residual folders of Nvidia. Then restart computer and let your card upload the current drivers automatically. Give it a minute or two to do this.

    For me Driver 417.71 seems to work best overall RTX Driver and 390.65 or 391.35 Driver on the GTX Cards.
    I still think one Thread in One Area is best to post Drivers as it make No Difference on the Card. OS Yes but not the Cards.

    Is it worth updating from 418.81 to this one?

    This driver broke Dolby Atmos for me. RTX 2080
    I'm running a 5.1.2 system.
    I can only use Stereo atm.
     
    Problem is, i'm playing Anthem, and this driver is a must.
    Attempting to do anther fresh install.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------
    EDIT: After a fresh install (DDU), Atmos is back.
    Just goes to show a clean install is always best practice.
     
    Additionally, Anthem atm doesn't seem to support HDR/Dolby Vision displays, so we're having to disable that in Windows, and on the display.

    Re: nvidia drivers 418.91 Tuesday, February 19, 2019 1:14 PM (permalink)
     
    I have reinstalled .91 three times and I still have G-sync turning itself on, sometimes. When I go into the Nvidia control panel the G-sync selection does not show g-sync enabled. I have to select g-sync, apply, deselect g-sync, apply, and then all three monitors show g-sync off. I then renable g-sync and repeat the process to see the response and everything responds as it should.
     
    No noticeable pattern to speak of for when g-sync enables itself but the lights on each monitor will all display g-sync enabled when this ocurres. I suppose a pattern of sorts is this only happens at times after a complete power off. I also noticed during a restart two monitors (not primary monitor) will show g-sync enabled but once powered up g-sync is off. So I guess a pattern would be full power off/on.
     
    The interesting thing about this is that up until now multi monitor setups would suffer from increased GPU usage based on the number of monitors above one monitor. Now with this anomaly I do not see that GPU usage issue even when I select g-sync on.
     
    So I'm thinking Nvidia has after what, eight years, finally attempted to apply a fix instead of depending on third party software.? If so it worked except for turning g-sync on without my input.
     
    Maybe the fix by Nvidia is a result of the power demands of the 2080 series cards or the availability of AMD's product on g-sync monitors.
     
    Amazing what compition accomplishes but I would like to know if Nvidia has actually tried something with .91 and if so I hope they fix this auto on. Come to think of it auto on is one way to keep g-sync monitors from using the compition.

    New pattern.
     
    A few minutes into BF5 game stutters and starts to crash. Power lights on all three monitors displays G-sync attempting to enable. Game crashes and monitors go back to no g-sync. All monitors are doing this so at least I'm confident my monitors are not failing.
     
    Immediately restart BF5 and play uninterrupted.

    Confirmed.
     
    BF5 is automatically turning G-sync on at start of game and back off when closing BF5. Not sure how this is happening unless BF5 has tied in G-sync with BF5 High Fidelity-Ultra settings.

    Another Confirmation.
     
    I thought it was only BF5 turning on G-sync. After a little more attention I also confirmed that after a system shutdown and full power up G-sync is enabled regardless of Nvidia Control Panel selection.
     
    Too tired of switching between drivers so I'll wait for the next new set of drivers and glitches....especially after getting everything back in working order after the last few BF5 and Nvidia driver problems.
