First of all, I want to say hi to all of you. I have been a lurker for 2-3 months when I started thinking if I should upgrade to a new GPU or not. I got my 1660 today and I wanted to format Windows 10 and start from scratch. The thing is I removed everything from the Nvidia driver installer and left it bare-bones(I removed everything including PhysX, HD Audio and all the other stuff). I checked in Device Manager and saw this: It also existed when I swapped my old GPU for the new one in my old Windows 10 installation(latest drivers installed but everything removed as I said before leaving only the drivers and control panel) So, I was wondering if anyone here can shed some light into this matter and if I should probably install the drivers like normal without removing anything. If more info is needed: Windows 10 1903 18362.86 - up to date with everything Nvidia drivers 430.64 GPU is Gigabyte 1660 OC I should also state that I don't have any problems in my games from the two that I tried at least(League of Legends and Sekiro) but it kinda ticks me tbqh. Thanks a lot guys and sorry if this is the wrong section.
Welcome to guru3d It's a good practice to remove absolutely everything GPU related before installing a new one. Go-to tool for that is DDU (https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/display-driver-uninstaller-thread.379506/) It usually fixes most driver related problems. Just make sure to reboot into safe mode before using it. After restart you should be able to install drivers the way you want - custom, full, slim etc EDIT: And yes, first try installing driver the usual way just in case. So maybe a custom installation of things you need through the standard nvidia installer, for example, physx and driver only but uncheck gf experience
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately as I said, I formatted Windows 10 and started from scratch with my new GPU on board and installed the slim version of the drivers. I'm not really into reinstalling drivers over and over as I keep my system clean. ;x Wow you're a life saver. With this program I found what the problem is, but what is this "wireless controller"? ;x Can I safely uninstall it from the Device Manager, it kinda irritates me xD
I have a driver classified "Wireless controller" from NVIDIA, its part of the USB-C port, and also has a driver to match. If you want it to get a driver, install one that doesn't have that particular part stripped out.
its the usb-c driver, some have it stripped if using wild drivers found online, use snappy to pull that driver.
