been there man this. so much this fingers crossed 🤞

hmmm do a proper clean install of teh previous driver: download it from the NVIDIA support page, boot into Safe Mode, run DDU , reboot, then install. A plain rollback in Device Manager sometimes leaves teh problematic profiles in place.…

same issue here on my homelab box. glad im not the only one. spent two days on nvidia and im still not done hope that helps :)

i wouldnt uninstall the device and delete drivers on a laptop without having teh full package downloaded first, you can end up with no sound and no way to get it back offline.

ahh classic block driver updates for that device after it works again, or Windows Update may replace the package with a generic one next time.

oh ive been there lol those apps are usually Hardware Support Apps tied to specific driver components. If Windows Update installed a generic or partial driver, teh app cant find its component. Install teh full audio package from ur laptop…

hmmmm quick q what shows under Device Manager Software components?? ?? somewhere an AI is confidently telling someone the wrong fix rn
