Hi nz3777,

Have you checked for Malware. Have you installed this. Visual C++ Redist Installer V54.exe

Reinstall driver with DDU, and install latest WHQL drive full package.

 

I lose the ability to open control panel under a specific circumstance.
If DSR is enabled and I have 3 display devices cloned, it will not open.
If DSR is not enabled, or one of the displays is disconnected, or I clone only 2 displays then it will open fine.

It might be the same issue for you and rebooting keeps one display disconnected so it doesnt get cloned.
Possibly...

I've had this issue on a 980, 980ti and 1080ti.

 

Happens since w10 creators here and it's not fixable.

 

Sounds like an issue with the OS, maybe something went wrong during Updating.

Works fine here with the Creators Update + 384.76.

 

IIRC there is an nvidia service that runs, I disabled it a while back and lost the NVCP from right click, make sure its running

 

I had the same issue but once I updated the driver for my card it fixed the problem.

 

Open task manager and kill everything worded nvidia, then you can open it, such an old bug I swear they are outsourcing half the driver starting with win10.

 

Never had this issue, problem is on your side, not the driver.

 

It´s not that simple, you don´t even have the same card lol.

 

It doesnt matter which card, Nvidia control panel is same for everyone. Reinstall the driver as i've suggested, problem solved.

 

Actually there is plenty of stuff directly related between the control panel and physically what card you got in there, pfft even stuff attached to it can affect nvcp behavior.

 

Will do boss-man thank you for the fix I will report back in with my findings.Cheers:banana:

 

Enjoy your issues :banana:

 

Ha!, 384.94 thread already getting reports on this.

 

Sometimes I get this, Very annoying, a simple restart will fix this issue, time to time I get this, extremely annoying, but I am used to it now.

Worse comes to worse, Un-install drivers with 3.2.0 Driver Sweeper(Optional) + Latest DDU(In Safe Mode).

Then re-install drivers, should be good to go, but I still experience this time to time, kinda crazy in a way, Especially when I am doing benches and want to change settings, I can not, have to restart, ergh.

 

You don´t have to restart if you just kill all the nvidia processes and reopen the control panel. Reinstalling doesn´t solve it. Latest months I´ve been back and forth between a lot of drivers between 351x and the latest, all same problem.

 

As stated same problem after Re-installing new drivers, Oh well it was worth a shot I guess I can live with it haha. Thanks again guys.
