    I ran a search to see if this has already been covered but was unable to find anything more recent than 2012.

    The updates had no trouble installing until about 2 months ago. Ever since then I always get a message that it was not possible to install the update and it has attempted 3 different updates so far. I did attempt contacting Nvidia support about 4 weeks ago but I never received any reply.

    Has anyone come across this and found a solution, please?

    Download DDU.

    Boot to Safe Mode and run DDU uninstaller. Clean and reboot.

    Install new Nvidia driver using standard method OR with NVCleanInstall.

    device manager
    and verify monitor - NON-pnp "problem"

    ..,or DDU above - for drivers version change

    DCH - more for windows 1712build above ,.,.but I recommend the STANDARD package !! "normal EXE + all inside // all works x UAC MODS"
    DCH - control panel from WINDOWS STORE "modern app"


    latest drivers is OK for your GPU 1070 or 1080 !! must works

    I ran DDU and then successfully reinstalled Nvidia driver and GEforce Experience however, I am unable to login. Not because I did not receive the verification mail but because their site is not responding.
