After 6 hours of googling and digging for a solution for the exact same problem. I reached your video. Thank you sir! Everything is okay now apart from my partially bald head.
P.S: Prior to following the steps in your video I had used DDU to uninstall all the nvidia related files and drivers which sat me back to point zero where I had microsoft basic driver as the main gpu. I think adding this step to your tutorial might be helpful to people who are still failing after following the steps in the video. Because while I'm searching for a solution some sources were saying that the "failed installation" error could happen because of conflict with old nvidia files. I'm no expert but I just thought I'd share this. Thanks again!
That's good advice. I can't really suggest that though because I can't replicate that issue. I wonder if doing ddu and then straight up installing the driver would have worked in your case? I would implore you to backup your system, revert it to that "failed" state, and then make a video about that from start to finish without skipping any steps. I'd link to it!
Doing DDU and then straight up installing the driver didn't work for me, I kept having the same errors. This is actually the order of how I did things.(I'm on windows 10 64 bit) 1. DDU>Install driver>Fail(not compatible) 2.DDU*>Modify inf files>Install driver> Failed installation 3. DDU*>Modify inf files*>Disable driver signature verification>Install driver>Success So really your instructions are the main problem solvers here. But doing DDU is never a bad thing anyway I imagine, it allows for a 100% clean installation. Not sure about making a video never done it before.
That's good stuff. I'll see what I can do. I started to think that may help in the two thousand or so comments I've seen... you're definitely more perceptive than most. Good work and good details/methodology! Oh, and as luck would have it, YT just made it so you can pin comments. I just saw this today. What a perfect coincidence because this is the best comment in all of these comments! DDU: www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
Thank you! A little update; A new driver was released a couple days back and I tried to straight up install it but it didnt work, I had to redo everything step by step and I'm assuming I'm going to do that for each new driver. And there is something that came up with this proccess, I've never experienced "blue screen of death" before on this pc but ever since I've been updating my drivers like this it's been randomly happening to me, it's not very often but it happens. It happened once while I was playing a game like "salt and sanctuary" which is a 2-D game and has very low requirements from the system. It happens while I'm playing BF1; Sometimes right at the starting menu and sometimes an hour later but not everytime and not everyday (like I said, random). I have no idea how to deal with this. It might be that I hadn't updated my driver yet ( the newer one). But I just did that 10 minutes ago and I'll update here if I experience the blue screen again!
As now there are latest drivers your hardware not detected fix not working but your installation failed fix is working and I'm loving it. Thank you brother.
For everyone that uninstalled their drivers or GPU go to your system settings and click or type in search restore system ! I did this on my windows 10 and they restored the Nvidia card I uninstalled.
Oh. My. God. I literally spent 3 days looking for a video on this and I couldn't find it. Then RUclips suddenly puts this on my recommended and it worked. I have no words for you my man ur an absolute *LEGEND*
HELP!!! when i try to run the setup again, it says "windows cannot access the specified devixe, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them"
guys who cant find the nvidia folder i have an way when you start the dowload the file start getting downloaded in your c drive just move the folder from there and place it in your desktop and its done just after finshing the transfer cancle the nvidia download
Upgraded a work colleagues kids computer to Windows 10. This issue popped up after one of his kids done a Windows 10 Update. Spent ages trying to figure it out and must say, this guide helped a LOT! One thing I will say is that this only wanted to work only if I had Driver Signature Enforcement turned off. Thanks man, his kids can enjoy their games, once again!
I checked all of the INF files in the display driver using the VEN code, and I found 8 INF files that contain my exact hardware ID. However, none of them have the grouping mentioned in the video. Instead, each section has a single line, whereas the section in the video contains 8-9 lines. I’m confused-do I need to write out every section? Also, there are INF files with a larger number of sections and others with fewer sections, so I’m not sure which file to work on or what to do with the sections."
**FIX** Not working for me anymore. Already did this 2 times in previous versions and worked. Yesterday i tried to update it and its not working dunno why. Geforce Experience will not detect new drivers, you have to check it for yourself. But i managed to update the drivers easier than this method. Go to Device Manager, right click on your Graphic Card and "Update Driver Software", then select "Browse my computer for driver software" then choose the driver folder location. Just wait to finish and its done. P.S... The installation will be trough windows menu and not the nvidia driver menu. On a clean instalation i dont know if installs all the nvidia utilities like GF Experience, but is a good way to update the drivers =)
After pulling my hair for so long because of this problem .. finally someone had brains to figure it out .. worked like a charm .. keep up the good work man. 👍
GUYS THERE IS A SOLUTION WHO CAN'T SEE THEIR NVIDIA GPU ( I SEARCHED EVERYWHERE AND NO ONE WRITES THE SOLUTION SO THERE YOU GO): 1-RESTART YOUR COMPUTER GO INTO BIOS ( SEARCH FOR HOW TO ENABLE BIOS MODE) 2- PRESS F9 AND AFTER THAT PRESS F10, THEN RESTART YOUR COMPUTER 3- GO INTO DEVICES AND CLICK VIEW, PRESS SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES 4- LOOK DOWN BELOW, YOU WILL SEE OTHER DEVICES, CLICK ON THAT AND YOU WILL SEE A DEVICE THAT HAS YELLOW EXCLAMATION MARK ON IT. 5- THIS IS YOUR NVIDIA DEVICE NOW YOU CAN FOLLOW THE VIDEO TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM.
Man, you don't even know how helpful this video was for me, you explained that it doesn't work because of signature enforcement and I didn't even know that. And I was really surprised that you keep answering people in the comments even video is 8 damn years old. I wish youtube would show this video earlier, thank you a lot!
Followed with your tutorial, but half way through the installation, after pressing install driver anyway the screen goes black and the driver never finishes installing. After a whole night of letting it run it still didnt finish, so i restarted the computer and the display was only running in 800x600 resolution so i let windows update the driver through device manager just so i can use my pc in normaln resolution. Any ideas how to fix the black screen?
Just looked through the comments, it said to run ddu before following with your video, so i did it. The driver installation followed without any problems, but at the end after the driver installation finished, and me restarting the pc it still didnt update and my screen resolution remained at 800×600
2020 and this still works! I stupidly forgot to keep watching past 9:00 two days ago though, and wasted a lot of time looking for the answer when it was here all along. I am commenting to help myself remember lol, when inevitably a Windows update causes this same failure of the driver in the future. Thanks so much!!!
thank you so much, after 3 days straight troubleshooting nothing worked until i found this, really appreciate it. although, it’s been installing for about 30 minutes now.. is that normal?
DUDE IT FREAKIN WORKED. I SPENT A WHOLE NIGHT TRYING TO FIX IT.. and now this morning until EVENING I CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO. THANK YOUU!!! ITS FINALLY INSTALLED!

I used to think That NVIDIA GRAPHICS DOES not Work Anymore. Trust me my Friend I have downloaded this nvidia graphics so many times experiencing same problem. But as soon as I landed at your channel, my Problem is solved. Thank for providing such an amazing content. You have my subscription n big like. I will share your channel my friends who are also doing gaming like me. Much respect from Kenya Africa. God you
Guys this works for me 1. Unistall all nvdia software 2. Download and Install GeForce Experience app from the oficial website 3. Log In 4. Install latest driver. 5. Done
Ok, I think I have the necessity to lend a hand by telling how I fixed this problem. Let's start: -The problem: Windows 10 wouldn't recognize my GTX 1080ti after a clean install, no matter what I tried. In device manager it showed "Basic Microsoft Display Device" where should be GTX 1080ti. -What is causing this?: The version of Windows 10 you are using is outdated, and the newest GPUs are not recognized (most likely GTX10 series). Don't panic try to relax. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this and I came up with an easy solution. -How to solve this problem: 1)You are going to attempt to update by writing "update" in the Cortana search box. 2)Click "Check updates", download them, restart, and install them. 3)Now you are going to type in google "Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant" OR go to this link: www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10. It is an official Microsoft program. 4)Download it, install it, running, update it again. It will take some time. 5)Once it is done it should restart automatically, and the resolution should upscale to your native monitor resolution, it means your graphics card is recognized, and now you can install the drivers. PD: I think my problem was different from the one in this video, but it is a very simple solution that worked for me.
I just built a new win10 PC with 960gtx. Used a Win10 copy purchased from ebay, which was probably old. It's been awhile since I've done a PC build but I always leave the network unplugged and install vidcard drivers first. Got the same problem, "X Nvidia installer...failed". Luckily, all it required was to run Windows update and after waiting .....long restart......Win10 booted up and vidcard drivers installed. Checked device manager and 960gtx was there. Thankyou!!
You sir, are a life saver! I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this graphics card installed in my laptop.Still working in 2019 Thanks a Million!
January 2019,.... Still the best and only fix for this problem! I too upgraded an older Clevo P170H laptop with a GTX680M. System couldn't recognize my video card. I've come back to this video at least 3 or 4 times! Thank you sir! You are a guardian angel! lol 👍😎
God I love you! been trying to do this to play bannerlord for like 4 hours, theres a lot of videos about changing ini files but yours is the only one that works
I'm so grateful , you can't even imagine. It's been roughly 2 months that i tried everything i could. You just saved my computer , my art studies , I'm not joking i could cry right now ! XD I'm sending all my gratitude to you mister , cheers from France ! :) (I tried this on my Omen 15 , Rtx 3060 mobile , and now it's fucking working)
I watched nearly a hundred videos trying to do this workaround but no way near the idea and of course i struggled with them. But this is real! It worked. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this video. I tried to find solution for two days, and finally found a link to your video on some forum. It happened that the driver comes from the factory with wrong assignment of the driver ID. The ID of my old GPU was assigned to a newer You model and this assignment caused the error, I deleted those lines and added a correct name of the GPU. I also have to go through all those files and add lines and change numbers as you show in the video. Many files intthe folder. Finally I have a newer nvidia driver and was able to start Unreal engine and it works well. Thank you again! 🙏
Ah thanks bro, really. This tutorial is detailed and straightforward, no craps like in other video. Straight to the point. Again thank you very much for this, you saved my computer. :))
I salute you man, thanks alot, thank god you are the only one who helped me after 5 hours of trying to install driver only this method works, the only point is to edit a txt of setup every other videos just showing a wrong way of doing that. THANKS ALOT MAAAAN !
Great job man you are really a life saver. Thought I could just drop a new graphics card in my old asus. NOPE. Asked asus and nvidia for help with no luck. Your method worked perfectly. Please never delete this 😁
This is one of the better videos for this issue, however after trying various things over 4 hours. The solution to multiple different Nvidia installer issues was to unplug and replug my GPU in a different PCI slot.
Thank you for posting this solution. It helped me to solve a similar issue in my HP laptop (with nvidia Gforce GTX 1050 Mobile). In my case, the nvidia card was not detected as a video card, but the system detected it as another component. What I did is to check through Internet the hardware id 4 digits of that detected part (It was detected as a 3dsomething) and I found a site where shows the four digits id. assignment to an nvidia card and that was the 4 digits that I took to mod the inf file. Also you have to copy to the desktop the nvidia files in the C folder before the installer delete them and them copy the files again to C to perform the modding. That is for those who don't find the nvidia files. I hope this comment can help.
You are a STAR *****. I searched and tried many other online solutions, which did not work. This video is the bees knees. Worked like a dream. Thank you.
Hello from the year 2020. I can confirm this worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I followed your steps to the T after weeks of trying to figure this out. I'm happy but NVIDIA Why can't you fix your drivers!!! We shouldn't be having to do all of this. Not everyone is a computer scientist to do this on our own.
wow bro thanks srly , THANKS YOU I've been looking for a solution for several days and you're the only one who helped me I hope everything in your life is a success
You sir are doing God's work. My goodness i was pulling my hair out searching for a solution and i finally found it. Also there is another video explaining the same thing as your video but i couldn't understand anything the guy was saying. You put it in a simple way and i thank you for it.
thank you sir, I tried 3 days for solution everyone has a same problem, and googling almost everything , finally reached your video and, it seems would be okay while Im installing it.
This really helped me out dude! Thank you so much for creating this tutorial. My MacBook Pro with a 9600M gpu just refused to install the latest driver for the 9M gpu’s, but with this I was able to get it to work! Thank you!
Wow sir, a 12minute video dedicated to help people solve a problem which definitely causes baldness, I’m going through this pain rn with my gtx960, I will let you know if I get it fixed!
Thank you so so so so much sir , you have a grand salute from me , I was half dead googling whole graphic card driver problem, and you are the doctor who saved me thi night..Love from INDIA ..❤ ❤ ❤
Funny, I downloaded the driver from NVIDIA for my laptop with a GEFORCE 820M, followed the instructions, it worked, except for the fact that it has installed the GT 640. I thank you a lot for your effort, this is really helpful, but I'll continue my search for a deffinitive solution.
@@bryanmercado7141 unfortunately no. I just reinstalled the Windows and keep the driver from 2017 for the 820M. I even tried to alter the .inf file that contains my GPU model and didn't work. I'm waiting for the 2004 version of Windows update and I'll try again in the traditional way.

143k views; 143k people looking for support and you're telling me that this hasn't been patched?
The biggest shit on Windows 10's face, we have never had like these problems on Windows xp.

The driver installation followed without any problems, but at the end after the driver installation finished, and me restarting the pc it still didnt update and my screen resolution remained at 800×600
Same here

thank you so much, after 3 days straight troubleshooting nothing worked until i found this, really appreciate it. although, it’s been installing for about 30 minutes now.. is that normal?
This seems to work for sure..but mine's is taking forever to install too after forcing the install...did yours ever complete? Did it work well??
i don't have .inf file
worked for my 1060, you don't know how badly I wanna kiss you my friend LOL
DUDE IT FREAKIN WORKED. I SPENT A WHOLE NIGHT TRYING TO FIX IT.. and now this morning until EVENING I CAME ACROSS YOUR VIDEO. THANK YOUU!!! ITS FINALLY INSTALLED!
*UPDATED SOLUTION November 2018*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- First of all, after the error dont close the nvidia window or the nvidia folder will be deleted! Copy the folder to other location THEN close the installation window.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I guess editing any INF files is not working anymore, you must edit the INF of your manufacture!
>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- First, YOU MUST edit the exact same way like in this video, BUT in your manufactuer INF file! Remember to save all the lines you edited to the next step! Then you do the next steps!
*One more thing, when you edition a section like for exemple Section=050 and if ID appears again in a 050 section YOU DONT NEED to edit. Editing 1 time per section is enough!*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Again on your manufacture INF search for [Manufacturer], bellow you will find a line with some windows version/compilation. The problem happens because nvidia is not adding the recent compilations. Looks like this:
%NVIDIA_A%=NVIDIA_Devices,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0...14310,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0...16299
Just add your compilation with this at the end ",NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0...XXXXX" in my case XXXXX= 17763
After adding will look like this: %NVIDIA_A%=NVIDIA_Devices,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0...14310,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0...16299,NTamd64.10.0,NTamd64.10.0...17763
*You if dont know how to check your version Settings->System-> About, u will see OS Compilation!*
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just create a group for *with your current compilation* like in my case (17763): [NVIDIA_Devices.NTamd64.10.0...17763] and paste bellow all the section lines you edited that i told you to save for later. I advise you to save in a notepad the compilation group you created with the lines for future updares!

Happy driver updates!
Can u make a video bro ?
I'm not sure if I understand that correctly
@@salahaly8151 forum.zwame.pt/threads/tutorial-este-controlador-grafico-nao-encontrou-hardware-de-graficos-compativel.1024847/ I made this tutorial, it is in portuguese but you can use the google function to translate to your language.
I had a hard work to put my drivers working, im not gona risk to do that again for a video.

I used to think That NVIDIA GRAPHICS DOES not Work Anymore. Trust me my Friend I have downloaded this nvidia graphics so many times experiencing same problem. But as soon as I landed at your channel, my Problem is solved. Thank for providing such an amazing content. You have my subscription n big like. I will share your channel my friends who are also doing gaming like me. Much respect from Kenya Africa. God you
Guys this works for me
1. Unistall all nvdia software
2. Download and Install GeForce Experience app from the oficial website
3. Log In
4. Install latest driver.
5. Done
it's not worked for me
LESSON LEARNED : *Never buy from ebay*
Ok, I think I have the necessity to lend a hand by telling how I fixed this problem. Let's start:
-The problem: Windows 10 wouldn't recognize my GTX 1080ti after a clean install, no matter what I tried. In device manager it showed "Basic Microsoft Display Device" where should be GTX 1080ti.
-What is causing this?: The version of Windows 10 you are using is outdated, and the newest GPUs are not recognized (most likely GTX10 series).
Don't panic try to relax. I spent a lot of time trying to fix this and I came up with an easy solution.
-How to solve this problem:
1)You are going to attempt to update by writing "update" in the Cortana search box.
2)Click "Check updates", download them, restart, and install them.
3)Now you are going to type in google "Windows 10 Upgrade Assistant" OR go to this link: www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10. It is an official Microsoft program.
4)Download it, install it, running, update it again. It will take some time.
5)Once it is done it should restart automatically, and the resolution should upscale to your native monitor resolution, it means your graphics card is recognized, and now you can install the drivers.
PD: I think my problem was different from the one in this video, but it is a very simple solution that worked for me.
"Don't panic try to relax"

I just built a new win10 PC with 960gtx. Used a Win10 copy purchased from ebay, which was probably old. It's been awhile since I've done a PC build but I always leave the network unplugged and install vidcard drivers first. Got the same problem, "X Nvidia installer...failed". Luckily, all it required was to run Windows update and after waiting .....long restart......Win10 booted up and vidcard drivers installed. Checked device manager and 960gtx was there. Thankyou!!
Fixed it! You're a genius.
Luke Stewart I'm so glad I helped you guys. I don't wish that hassle to anybody :). You can spread this solution as much as you can :)
9 years old video and still Worth it
I don't have a display adapter option
Go to device manager. click view and then "show hidden devices"
I don’t know what to say but THANKOU NOW I CAN PLAY FORTNITE
Damn man An old video just help me out after a long hours, thank you very much, keep up the good work.
You sir, are a life saver! I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this graphics card installed in my laptop.Still working in 2019 Thanks a Million!
Legend Thought Me How to fix this problem 6 years ago! Thank you legend...
....After like 2 weeks of struggle. Finally got my lappy running properly. I was part of the other 10%... Thanks a million....
January 2019,.... Still the best and only fix for this problem! I too upgraded an older Clevo P170H laptop with a GTX680M. System couldn't recognize my video card. I've come back to this video at least 3 or 4 times! Thank you sir! You are a guardian angel! lol 👍😎
Worked from me in 2019 after 2 days off hassles after upgrading from 8.1 to 10....Thanks man !!
This is one of the perticular video in RUclips to solve the problem to install NVIDIA graphics driver... Thankyou so much brother...God bless you 💞🙏
God I love you! been trying to do this to play bannerlord for like 4 hours, theres a lot of videos about changing ini files but yours is the only one that works
After these many years you made the video we are still benefitted by this.....👍🙏
I'm so grateful , you can't even imagine.
It's been roughly 2 months that i tried everything i could.
You just saved my computer , my art studies , I'm not joking i could cry right now ! XD
I'm sending all my gratitude to you mister , cheers from France ! :)
(I tried this on my Omen 15 , Rtx 3060 mobile , and now it's fucking working)
The best RUclips In history, the video is very, very old. It was 8 years ago and I made it for the road. Thank you very much 🇲🇦❤❤❤❤❤
I watched nearly a hundred videos trying to do this workaround but no way near the idea and of course i struggled with them. But this is real! It worked. Thank you!
omg men, like 2 weeks without the last driver version... I was stuck in the last part. I really love u men, thanks :3
Thank you very much for this video. I tried to find solution for two days, and finally found a link to your video on some forum. It happened that the driver comes from the factory with wrong assignment of the driver ID. The ID of my old GPU was assigned to a newer You model and this assignment caused the error, I deleted those lines and added a correct name of the GPU. I also have to go through all those files and add lines and change numbers as you show in the video. Many files intthe folder. Finally I have a newer nvidia driver and was able to start Unreal engine and it works well. Thank you again! 🙏
Your video is the lastest video i discovered to solve nvidia problem so i want to sleep now.Hopeful that it will work tomorrow see ya.
You are a life saver Sir, can't thank you enough, you just saved my Asus ROG G60VX. Thank you!!!
Ah thanks bro, really. This tutorial is detailed and straightforward, no craps like in other video. Straight to the point. Again thank you very much for this, you saved my computer. :))
I salute you man, thanks alot, thank god you are the only one who helped me after 5 hours of trying to install driver only this method works, the only point is to edit a txt of setup every other videos just showing a wrong way of doing that. THANKS ALOT MAAAAN !
Saved me hours of research after getting an error, can’t thank you enough. For me it was just the signature verification
Great job man you are really a life saver. Thought I could just drop a new graphics card in my old asus. NOPE. Asked asus and nvidia for help with no luck. Your method worked perfectly.
Please never delete this 😁
Do you need to repeat this process every time you update the drivers in the future?
It really worked after I tried at least 10 different solutions but this one worked. Thank you for the video which guided me :)
Tysm my apex was running in 15 FPS and check the driver Nvidia was missing I spent 7 hours on this and u helped me
finally after months and years disturbed by this driver problem, found this perfectly done solution. thanks, here my thumbs up (y)
This is one of the better videos for this issue, however after trying various things over 4 hours. The solution to multiple different Nvidia installer issues was to unplug and replug my GPU in a different PCI slot.
Thank you for posting this solution. It helped me to solve a similar issue in my HP laptop (with nvidia Gforce GTX 1050 Mobile).
In my case, the nvidia card was not detected as a video card, but the system detected it as another component. What I did is to check through Internet the hardware id 4 digits of that detected part (It was detected as a 3dsomething) and I found a site where shows the four digits id. assignment to an nvidia card and that was the 4 digits that I took to mod the inf file. Also you have to copy to the desktop the nvidia files in the C folder before the installer delete them and them copy the files again to C to perform the modding. That is for those who don't find the nvidia files. I hope this comment can help.
You are a STAR *****. I searched and tried many other online solutions, which did not work. This video is the bees knees. Worked like a dream. Thank you.
Turn out my nvidia hardware was loose this whole time! *THANK YOU*
I've been struggling with driver issues ever since I got this laptop
This really REALLY helped.
You're a legend man.
This is so thoroughly well made, I appreciate the effort you spent to make this video.
Worked 100%

Lmao, after 20 tries right when I watched ur video as I tried the last tim while watching it decided to work, ur video is magic
Hello from the year 2020. I can confirm this worked! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I followed your steps to the T after weeks of trying to figure this out. I'm happy but NVIDIA Why can't you fix your drivers!!! We shouldn't be having to do all of this. Not everyone is a computer scientist to do this on our own.
you are the man , my dude i have three words ( simple . fast . reliable )
it really works!!! 100% im using an asus rog laptop! Proud Pinoy Here!!!
wow bro thanks srly , THANKS YOU
I've been looking for a solution for several days and you're the only one who helped me

After 1 year i finally got Nvidia on my computer Thank you
Still working after a few years of using your method. Many thanks!
You sir are doing God's work. My goodness i was pulling my hair out searching for a solution and i finally found it. Also there is another video explaining the same thing as your video but i couldn't understand anything the guy was saying. You put it in a simple way and i thank you for it.
thank you sir, I tried 3 days for solution everyone has a same problem, and googling almost everything , finally reached your video and, it seems would be okay while Im installing it.
Thank you so much my friend, it worked like a charm. Much appreciated, and i hope you stay safe in this epidemic.
Still works in 2020 on a lenovo ideapad S145 i5 brand new.Thank you my brother.You are awesome!
This really helped me out dude! Thank you so much for creating this tutorial. My MacBook Pro with a 9600M gpu just refused to install the latest driver for the 9M gpu’s, but with this I was able to get it to work! Thank you!

Funny, I downloaded the driver from NVIDIA for my laptop with a GEFORCE 820M, followed the instructions, it worked, except for the fact that it has installed the GT 640. I thank you a lot for your effort, this is really helpful, but I'll continue my search for a deffinitive solution.
What laptop you use bro
@@kisaraggiryuji3724 ASUS X450LD
@@BrunoBGama did u find the solution? my laptop is asus x454L
@@bryanmercado7141 unfortunately no. I just reinstalled the Windows and keep the driver from 2017 for the 820M. I even tried to alter the .inf file that contains my GPU model and didn't work. I'm waiting for the 2004 version of Windows update and I'll try again in the traditional way.
