Windows 10: Nvidia Error & Crash when updating drivers

Hey there everyone! I was recently installing new drivers for my 1050ti, and my laptop keeps crashing to the blue screen, then I get a NVIDIA Web Helper error Bad Image, saying that nvapi.dll is either not designed to run on windows or contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation. Error status 0xc000012f.


What should I do here? Please help so I can update my drivers.

Nvidia Driver Crashing - Two Display - Tried Multiple Solutions


Hello, I recently updated to windows 10 and since have been having problems with my Nvidia graphics drivers crashing when I try to put anything in full screen mode on my second monitor. The computer would crash and eventually give me an error that graphics driver had crashed and recovered or that only the Microsoft basics driver is now being used. If I try to put anything in full screen on my primary monitor, the monitor goes black until I exit fullscreen.

I have read through multiple similar posts about this problem for others who seem to have found solutions. I tried to follow all of these different solutions but the problem persists.

What I've done:

• I installed Display Driver Uninstaller
• did a safe mode clean install restarted
• downloaded the newest Nvidia driver updater (364.51-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql)
• installed a custom install with a clean install (currently have driver version 364.51 for my GeForce GTX 660)
• told windows not to auto update
• told Nvidia not to auto update.

I am thinking that perhaps I need a legacy driver...? Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

Error: The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28) for NVidia MX250 Graphics card

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



The error code indicates, "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". We need to reinstall the device driver manually. I suggest you to refer the steps for
Code 28 mentioned in the article
Error codes in Device Manager in Windows and see if that helps.



You can try to run NVidia Auto-Detect and see if that helps you in installing the NVidia drivers. You can run NVidia Auto-Detect from
NVidia website. You can also check for the pending updates on the computer and install them. Please refer the section
How do I manually update my PC? from the article
Windows Update: FAQ.



If the issue persists, I suggest you to try the steps mentioned below to install the drivers:

1. Press Windows key + X and select
   Device Manager.
   
2. Right click on the NVidia driver and select
   Update Driver.
   
3. Click on Browser my computer for driver software.
   
4. Now, click on Let me pick from a list.
   
5. Select the NVidia MX250 driver and click on
   Next.
   
6. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.
   
7. Restart the computer once the driver is installed.
   

Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.
