Windows 10: Where is NVIDIA Graphics Card on my surface book 3?

Just got a surface book 3 and installed windows 11. I have a program called NVIDIA control panel but when I click it I'm given an error message: NVIDIA Graphics card not found on your system. All updates and driver updates are done but still when I search on device manager the only display adapter is Intel Iris Plus. I want to know two things: What is NVIDIA and shouldn't my surface book have it installed already? Why is it missing?

NVIDIA Graphics card disconnecting from Surface Book 2

Hi

I recently bought a surface book 2 i7 with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card

I'm having issues with the NVIDIA card disconnecting. It appears to be constantly disconnected, when I reattach my screen it appears connected for a brief time before disconnecting again. Occasionally I receive an error message when it disconnects but
mostly not.

In Device Manager it appears as a hidden device with the error Code 45.

My surface/windows software and NVIDIA drivers are up to date

I have not made any hardware changes to the computer.

I have run the surface diagnostic tool and Hardware and Device Troubleshooter with no success

I this an issue of faulty hardware that will require replacement or not?

 

Surface book nvidia video card vs intel hd graphics

Have a similar problem, Surface book won't use the Nvidia card. If I uninstall the intel hd driver and then reinstall the Nvidia card driver, it will work with the Nvidia until the unit is rebooted. After rebooting it reinstalls the intel drivers and
goes back to it. If I want to use the Nvidia card, the only to get it to work is to reinstall the drivers for it. After every reboot it defaults to the intel hd and will NOT used Nvidia card unless I reinstall the drivers for it.
