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

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.

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