Nvidia control panel missing

[Sho0ud]

I have this problem now for like 2 weeks because I can’t really find a way to fix this issue and that is that I don’t have nvidia control panel at all so I can’t unhide it and with that I also have a problem that whenever I press on the search icon or windows icon there pops up a critical error I tried many solutions like repair tools, reinstalling drivers, registering the control panel and some things more so could someone give me a fix or maybe tell me what I should do with that

Hello

Do you have a restore point that goes past 2 weeks?

Open control panel

Click Nvidia Control panel
Under Desktop make sure “Add desktop context menu” is selected

Then see if Nvidia control panel is available when you right click a blank spot on your desktop

If that doesnt fix it remove your existing nvidia driver with DDU and download/install a new driver from NVIDIA only and not through windows.

no I don’t have. I just thought about making one but then I saw this problem and it was no sense to do it now

Are you saying you dont have Windows control panel? Windows Control panel is nothing to do with Nvidia.

If you have the latest nVidia graphics driver then this uninstalled the Control panel, it should’ve installed the one from the Microsoft store but as it didn’t you can do this manually.
In my case this happened to me & it also uninstalled GeForce experience. I had to download control panel from the store & reinstall GeForce.

I tried installing the nvidia control panel from Microsoft store but when I press install nothing happens

DO NOT install any drivers from Microsoft, ONLY from the manufacturer, which in this case is Nvidia.
