Windows 10: Nvidia Display adapter not detected and accidentally uninstalled from device manager

My Nvidia GPU was not getting detected. So I have opened my device manager, and found it after clicking on View Hidden Devices, but sort of shaded. I uninstalled it from device manager in an attempt to reinstall the driver again to get it to work, however it has become nowhere to be found. A complete factory reset didn’t even manage to resolve the issue.


What can I do now?

I can only see my intel graphics card.

Did you notice that on Device Manager the Display adapter doesn't appear ?

The device manufacturer has to release the latest drivers for the newer operating system.

  card name.

  Click the Driver tab, click
  Update Driver, and then follow the instructions. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
  

Step 2: If that doesn't fix the issue, reinstall the display adapter drivers.
