Windows 10: Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (No ACPI Support)

I accidentally deleted my graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce GTX 770) from the device manager. I tried to install it again using add legacy hardware in device manager but the driver was called "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter (No ACPI Support)". I tried to install it, but it said the parameter was incorrect. Where did my graphics card go? It is on, the fans are spinning, but the HDMI port and the card itself doesn't seem to work.

Missing Microsoft Basic Display Adapter

The Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is a generic class driver that provides out of the box support when you install Windows 10. It is not intended for long term use but rather to get a working system in place. Ultimately, you should install the appropriate
display drivers, whether those are Intel HD Graphics, AMD or nVidia.
