Windows 10: Nvidia not compatible with this version of Windows Issue

Good evening, i just recently started experiencing this issue last week. I have an evga RTX 2080 ti XC since late January 2020. It was working fine until last Thursday 02 July. I woke the computer from sleep and the monitors would not receive signal. I restarted and still no display. Additionally, on the restart the computer would turn on for about 2 seconds. Turn itself off, then turn on again. I moved the monitor cables to the motherboard graphics and was able to get display.

In windows, I saw that the gpu was not recognized in Device Manager, nor could it be found when “show hidden devices” was clicked. I attempted to install new drivers manually and received the “not compatible with this version of windows” error. I did a windows update and everything seemed to work okay as the gpu was now recognized, a driver could be installed, and the gpu was producing signal to the monitors.

Today 07 Jul I experienced the same issue. No signal to the monitors. So I repeated my steps from the previous week. However, this time with no success.

Here’s the steps I took:

- made sure windows was updated running 1909

- updated asus bios to most recent version

- used DDU to fully uninstall nvidia drivers

- attempted to install new drivers same error

- did a full reinstall of windows 10

- checked all cable connections


I got nowhere in solving this. Windows is still not recognizing the card. I am at a loss at this point with my only two diagnosis left is check the psu or declare the card bad. I was wondering if anyone had any further suggestions. Thank you for all your help!

Windows 10 pro not compatible with Nvidia driver install program.

Hi,

I suggest you to install the drivers in
compatibility mode.

Compatibility mode runs the program using settings from a previous version of Windows.



Follow these steps to install the drivers in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

• 
  Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.
  
• 
  Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
  ‘properties’.
  
• 
  Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
  ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows operating system from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists.
  
  
  

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.


Thank you.

You can also install the program in compatibility mode and check if it resolves the issue.

If a program or driver written for an earlier version of Windows doesn't run properly in current Windows, then you could try using
compatibility mode on the program to hopefully allow it to run properly.
