GPU not being recognized, Nvidia control panel won't open

I have a Dell XPS 15 7590 laptop with a Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 GPU. The GPU is not being used for games and doesn't show up in task manager under processes. Only the integrated GPU 0 is available. In device manager, it occasionally has a yellow arrow and gives error code 43. Nvidia Control panel will not open. I attempted to update drivers through Geforce Experience and it completes the install, but always gives the option to install it again, indicating there's a problem. Is there a way to determine if the issue is software related or if the GPU is just dead?

Things I have tried:

• deleted and reinstalled latest graphics drivers directly from web (31.0.15.4629)
  
• updated BIOS and restarted my computer and
  
• stopped all nvidia processes in task manager
  
• made sure nvidia related services were running
  
• disabled fast boot
  
• deleted and reinstalled nvidia control panel
  

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Nvidia Control Panel app(?) not working

I just installed the latest driver for a new GPU (below) which installed the app store version of the NVidia Control Panel. Therr was no mention of it being a DCH driver. Are the new drivers the DCH version which use the store app?

 

Nvidia Control Panel app(?) not working

I decided to update my nvidia drivers, so I downloaded the latest game ready driver package for my gtx 960, used nvslimmer to trim away the stuff I don't want installed, leaving the install core, physX, and the display drivers, updated, and it seems to have went fine

then I get the following error when I right click and use the nvidia control panel context menu option

"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\NVIDIACorp.NVIDIAControlPanel_8.1.956.0_x64__56jybvy8sckqj\nvcplui.exe"
The system could not find the filter specified

So I used the steps here to make a backup of the windowsapps folder perms and give myself full unrestricted read/write access, unhide the windowsapps folder, navigate to the folder containing the nvidia control panel, use the nvcplui.exe, and the control panel opens and works just fine

why did nvidia decide to make the control panel a windows app (or a sorta app from what I read up on it), and what must I do to fix the problem I have above

alright, after doing a clean sweep of all things nvidia from my computer, and booting into safemode (minimal) to delete one stubborn folder, I went back into normal boot, and installed the standard version driver of 441.66 from nvidia's older driver archives, and surprise surprise, it brought back the regular non-windows app version control panel
