Windows 10: Nvidia Geforce GTX 880M not recognized by the device manager or the Nvidia driver setup

Hi everyone!
Recently I started getting frequent BSODs with the error message Video TDR Failureso I looked it up and followed a tutorial that claimed to fix the issue.
https://www.iobit.com/en/knowledge-fix-nvidia-nvlddmkm.sys-blue-screen-error-13.php

After uninstalling my GPU along with the drivers, as mentioned in the tutorial, it disappeared from the device manager. Instead, there is now a hidden device in its place only showing up if you show hidden devices called "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter".

This is what it looks like in the device manager.

The trouble is that even if I try to do a manual driver setup, the setup does not go beyond the step where it searches for compatible hardware. Instead, I get the following error message:

Sorry, for German... It says that it can't find any compatible hardware

So basically, my GPU is no longer being recognized by my system or the nvidia setup even though it's still plugged in I'm on aMedion Erazer Laptop and did not open it up or touch any hardware componentswhatsoever.

I thankfully still have my internal Intel GPU so that I can do very basic stuff like posting this but I'd really like to have my GTX back.

So far I have unsuccessfully tried:

• Installing the driver onto the "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" from the Device manager.
  • The result was that it told me that the Geforce GTX 880M got installed but the device still showed up just the same and even after a restart basically nothing changed.I tried doing this both the automatic and the manual way.
• Going into the BIOS and restoring it to default settings.
  • This did not do anything.
• Going into the BIOS to look for anything GPU related.
  • I have a limited laptop-BIOS American Megatrends from 2012 and there is no mention of any GPU at all.
• Unlocking the hidden BIOS settings.
  • I've searched through the internet for a while, trying out any key combinations that were suggested online to get into the hidden settings but so far none of them worked.

The hidden microsoft basic display adapter device does still show me the hardware ID of the Geforce GPU which isPCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1198&SUBSYS_11051462&REV_A1 - maybe there's something I could do with that?

I'd really like to avoid having to do a system reset since this would require a lot of work setting everything up again, finding and installing all programs again, all the windows settings etc...

Is there anything else I could do to get my system or the driver setup to recognize my GPU again? If you have any idea, please tell me!


Thank you for reading.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 Display Adapter is suddenly hidden in device manager

This graphics card is still installed, and is working (somewhat), because one of my two monitors attached is still working. The card has been installed on my Dell 8700 with Windows 10 since last November. Everything seemed fine until yesterday afternoon,
when I decided to upgrade my NVIDIA drivers from version 361.43 to 361.91. after that was completed, with no obvious errors, upon rebooting Windows, I had only one monitor working, and the NVIDIA GeForce Experience app no longer recognized that the card is
installed. That was when I looked at device manager, and found that there was no display adapter listed, until I did a View/show hidden devices.

Oddly, I then saw both a nonexistant NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645 and my NVIDIA GeForce GTX950 were listed. I uninstalled the 645, and restarted Windows hoping that might resolve the issue, but it did not - the GTX 950 is still 'hidden'.

The other thing that happened yesterday, earlier in the morning, was a Windows update KB3140743. Because that was a suspicious coincidence, I uninstalled that as well, and rebooted again, but still no resolution.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I suppose the card may have failed suddenly, but this seems more like a Windows 10 problem.

Thanks, Myles
