Windows 10: How do I fix NVIDIA Control Panel repeatedly crashing?

I just reinstalled my GPU drivers with DDU in safe mode with network devices disabled to a known stable version 537.58 due to an issue I was having where the Nvidia Control Panel would crash repeatedly. Now that I have installed the drivers version 537.58, I was on 566.14, I checked the event viewer for signs that my control panel was crashing, because beforehand I had upwards of 4000 crash errors related to Nvidia Control panel. Once I opened the Event viewer I didn't see anymore of the crash reports but I did find a warning that I think might point to why Nvidia Control Panel was crashing. T

Nvidia Control Panel Missing

Do you have the DCH driver installed? You need to grab the controlpanel from the Microsoft Store if you do. If you don't then just DDU your driver in safe mode, plug out the ethernet/wireless connection and install the standard Nvidia driver manually. This will fix it. I can write or link you a step-by guide if you are unfamiliar with it.

Hi,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I understand that nvidia Control Panel is not accepting desktop color settings correctly, In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need some
information.

1. What is the Make and the Model of the computer?
   
2. May I know the Model of the nvidia Graphic card?
   

I suggest you to try the following methods and check:

Method 1: Change the output dynamic range to full.

1. Open nvidia control panel.
   
2. Click on Display.
   
3. Select Change resolution.
   
4. Output dynamic range
   
5. Set this value to Full.
   

Method 2: Update nvidia Graphic driver.

Suggest you to update the nvidia Graphic driver from the

nvidia website and check if it fixes the issue.

Thanks,
