Accidentally removed/deleted drivers

Yeah that's the exact source that got me in this situation to begine with. As you can tell by the comments it worked for absolutely no one. Next step in their tutorial should be - delete sys32.. I guess I have no choice now but to do fresh install. At wich point I'd have nothing to lose might as well start familiarizing myself with linux and say goodbye to windows. Something as simple as this should not be this difficult or infuriating.

Black screen after installing Nvidia Drivers

I am on a Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Gen 7 laptop with Ryzen 6800h and a RTX 3060. I was installing the newest Nvidia Drivers and after the drivers were halfway through downloading, my screen went black and I wasn't able to do anything. I restarted my computer multiple times, booted into safe mode and have rolled back drivers and deleted the new ones, and when I boot Windows normally, my screen stays black.

This are the drivers I downloaded

Version: 531.18 WHQL

Release Date: 2023.2.28

Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11

Language: English (US)

File Size: 855.68 MB
