Nvidia driver problem with 940 MX on Windows 10 x64
My laptop is Asus A456UQ with GeForce 940MX and Win 10 x64
I have a problem with the nvidia driver: As long as I use the OEM driver from Asus website, everything works fine. The only problem is that some games won't run on this OEM driver. (ver 359.23)
After updating it to any newer version, everything seemed ok at first. All games ran perfectly well. The issue appeared after shutting my system down.
The nvidia control panel then couldn't be accessed. The message "Nvidia display setings are not available. You are not currently using a display attached to an nvidia GPU" appeared.
Strangely enough, my friends that have the same GeForce 940MX on Win 10 x64 don't experience this issue.
I have tried suggestions from all other websites:
- updating it to the latest version using clean install
- uninstalling the previous version using DDU in safe mode(lots of people recommended this)
- re-install my windows 10 (I seriously did this TWICE)
none of the above helped.
I have tried with 38x.xx and 39x.xx driver versions. Same result. The driver version I currently have for 940MX is 390.77 - Release Date: Mon Jan 29, 2018.
So everytime I install any other driver version, it worked fine at first, until I shut down my laptop. If I want to play those games, I have to reinstall the latest driver again. However, I noticed that the driver version is STILL listed on the Program and Feature. So basically it is still there, but somehow windows can't make a connection to the GPU.
It seems like updating to the latest version also removes the files needed to keep the nvidia control panel. I don't think this issue is nvidia-related, since my friends don't have this issue.
One more thing: no issues with my Intel Graphic driver. I use the latest driver and everything is fine.
Any ideas to fix this weird nvidia issue? Thanks in advance.
