Nvidia Control Panel Missing

Dear All,

I am trying to open Nvidia Control Panel but unfortunately I cant open it. I have tried searching for the application but I couldnt find it. I have already updated to my latest drivers. I still couldnt find anything. The card works fine but I cant change which graphics card to choose. The Control Panel Folder in Program Files/Nvidia is missing and I believe thats why it wont open. This is a GTX 1060 card running on a lenovo laptop.

Geforce Experience is working without any problems!

I would imagine you have upset the install and/or Optimus functionality by doing unnecessary driver updates, or using third party uninstallers. Or problems with your right click menu on the desktop.

I would uninstall your Nvidia drivers and install the ones provided by Lenovo, or use the manufacturers recovery partition.

The Nvidia control panel is located here on mine
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client\nvcplui.exe
Double clicking on that gives you the Nvidia Control Panel.

I have only installed lenovo drivers to date. My Control Panel Client has no files located in it. I remember i using before but then I reset my PC and since then I cant find it anymore!

Do you have the DCH driver installed? You need to grab the controlpanel from the Microsoft Store if you do. If you don't then just DDU your driver in safe mode, plug out the ethernet/wireless connection and install the standard Nvidia driver manually. This will fix it. I can write or link you a step-by guide if you are unfamiliar with it.

DCH Version/Nvidia Control panel: Buy NVIDIA Control Panel - Microsoft Store

It says "NVIDIA Control Panel is currently not available." what should I do next?

I have done as instructed but I still am having the same problem. I had a previous laptop with Nvidia Card and copied its Control Panel from there. And it worked and upon checking, It showed I still had DCH drivers installed.

Well Thanks for all your help. I have no idea how it was fixed. I updated my PC with windows update and after a short while, I got a message that control panel was installed. So I will marked it as solved!

Have you checked the solution on Nvidia Support? I think they have shared each and every thing.

If you have the DCH version installed, you will need to download NVCPL from the Microsoft store.
