Dell Precision M6700 Owners Thread

Help again after a couple of months... So i upgraded the K4100M i had installed with a GTX 970M, I got the vendor id stuff and modded them and i could install the driver without issues, but in this week as Windows 10 did the 2204 upgrade, i didn't notice that this returned to the previous 355 driver that it installs as soon new Windows is installed or restored. I had the ndvmi file i did installation last year, but now it refuse to install the new 446.14.

I have disabled driver enforcement security and going through all steps that are needed to install newers drivers, but it just seems to install it but it doesn't install it, just keeps the current version 446.14 but driver date is from 2019 and of course it gives me 0 MB on video. Dont know what else to do... I used show or hide Windows update in order to avoid the annoying update it was doing after in installed drivers, because it reversed them to the 355 version and of course newer games won't launch with that driver. But now it doesn't reflect on hidden or to hide options, and the least thing i want to do is a clean Windows installation again...

Weird part that it has been installing all the previous updates on Windows without touching the drivers and now it does this thing.... And its kind of annoying to do all these steps to again install the drivers.

 

Try this :

Then DDU nvidia drivers on your laptop, then try again with your inf mod.

 

Yeah i tried DDU that's the first step i did on my previous Windows installation last year, i did notice after January i just could install the driver of December, uninstalled it and it worked fine. And since them i left December drivers without any modification, as i mentioned now it's weird it just installed the 355 driver by itself again after it rebooted the update of Windows 2204. I haven't touched or modded since last year the inf needed to mod the drivers. I would have to check it again but yikes going again by those steps is really annoying

 

I think it's an issue windows related, try to go here and ask for help..

Solved... however still not seeing in Windows hidden or to hide options... But suddenly now i couldn't play Doom Eternal or Metro Exodus... just wondering how to enable Optimus now that drivers are up to date, that have never worked for me lol

 

If you enable optimus, you need to edit again your inf file

 

how? mine is 053F1028...

 

053F is without optimus, 153F is with optimus enabled

 

thanks will do... but my health battery is low so i guess it won't do much magic lol

Done but yikes what did i changed that it shows the id hardware instead of GTX 970M... And appears to reinstall old drivers, guess i will have with Optimus off to avoid issues, still can't see on wushowhide

 

Well I don't remember what I did on my Windows 10 (LTSC) installation to prevent installing such update.. I'm sorry :/
