It will not run though if you have the NVIDIA graphics driver installed with its own control panel.

Thanks, the above post requires to be online.
Do you have the latest NVIDIA standard driver installed?
Latest NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers for Windows 10 [2]
That is the latest 442.19 version.
You could try reinstalling the driver, and select to do a clean install of it during setup.

Dude, you da man! That was totally the issue, I installed the DCH version (whatever that is) and went back and found the standard version, looked like the same driver/date, but installed it on my Cabinet and now I have the Control Panel, so all is well and thanks so much for hanging in there with a noob!
Lemme make sure gonna go reboot.
Yeah fixed it. NCP is even available on the right click the playfield now once again.
I noticed that the Nvidia icon that usually resides in the notification area, which displays an "!" when a new driver is available is not there anymore. I used the helpful instructions in this thread to try and figure out what happened to it, only to discover that the previous icon has been replaced with an "Nvidia GPU Activity Icon" which is obviously different that the "regular" Nvidia icon.
I liked being notified by the "!" over the icon like before. Is anyone seeing what I'm seeing... I'm wondering if I've done something wrong and need to reinstall the Nvidia driver/Experience utility.
