Windows 10: My External Graphics Card Control Panel Only Works if I Update it in Windows Device Manager

In order to open The Nvidia Control Panel on one of my Windows 10 ver. 1909 Operating Systems, I must open device manager, open Display Adapters, right click, then select Update Driver, select "browse my computer for driver software", and finally 'let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer", then "select the driver software you want to install", where my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 GPU driver is an option. When I highlight it and press next, the graphics card control opens immediately. I cannot get my graphics card control panel to open up on sign in. I must do the above.
