The error message is: "geforce game ready driver installation can't continue, this nvidia graphics driver is not compatible with this version of windows" on geforce experience. My laptop Predator PH315-53 usually has an intel and Nvidia graphics driver, but after a windows update my Nvidia one was no longer there in the device manager. This makes it so I can't plug my laptop into an external screen like a monitor, and I'm not able to run games I could in the past. I tried to manually install the Nvidia driver off of their website but I got a similar error message there. Any help would be app

Windows update broke Nvidia graphic Drivers

I have two laptops each with Nvidia graphics cards, one with a 1060 6gb and one with a 1650. Recently I updated both of my laptops with the windows update, and after I installed the update my graphics drivers in BOTH laptops stopped working, giving me error code 43 (hardware failure) in device manager. I know this is not the case because prior to the windows update the graphics cards were indeed working. So far I have tried everything-rolling back the windows update, rolling back Nvidia drivers, completely deleting Nvidia drivers then reinstalling, and reinstalling the OS, but nothing seems to be fixing my problem. In device manager it just keeps giving me error code 43 and I really don't know what to do from here.

  Right click on the Start menu.

  Click on “Device Manager” from that list.
