Windows 10: GPU missing from device manager

Hi, I have a problem where I can't locate my Nvidia card in device manager and my nvidia control panel is also missing. When I tried to install any drivers It says that It could not find compatible hardware. would also like to point out that this problem occurred after my laptop shut itself down from overheating so i guess there is a possibility that my gpu is just fried. I would also like to point out that after I entered commands into cmd to show hidden files the gpu was listed there but faded out in which the properties says that it is not attached to my system. But after a windows update the card was gone completely even after showing hidden files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated .
