teots · 20 Dec 2019

There were some problem with the nvidia 441.66 driver. The nvidia control panel were missing. Anyone has the same problem ? Is there a fix for it ?

Install an older driver that you know works. Or send your results to Nvidia.

Sounds like your install messed up somehow, as mine runs fine here. You could un-install your existing version now using DDU in safe mode, then reinstall the 441.66 again. I'll post a link for the Nvidia file ....if you need it.

Based on a problem cited in another thread:

Are you using the DCH driver or the "Game Ready" one?

Another poster had an issue with the missing control panel in the DCH version. The poster claimed that it the CP was only available through the Microsoft Store, which the poster refused to use.

I use the GRD on 19041 and 19536.

I'm using "game ready" driver and the older driver don't have this problem therefore I reinstall the old driver.

I'm using the game ready driver, 441.66, on 2004 build 19041.1. No problems. Maybe the 441.66 installer gives inconsistent results.

It's the latest Insider Slow Ring build. It's a version of 20H1 (first half of 2020).
