Windows 10: Win10 64x could not install nvidia geforce drivers, run event viewer or most any other tasks

I spent about 4 hours today updating 1 pc, shut it down after everything was done.

Start another win10 pc, nothing working properly.

Failed to install latest nvidia geforce drivers from download, failed to run event viewer, pc running

slow.

What I do notice is on every cold boot, windows security center usually has an yellow asterisk over it,

but today it had the ok asterisk.

I have had ongoing issue with wss and my installed antivirus program identifying that it is installed and up to date.

I tried the nvidia geforce installer again, but failed a second time, but everything from the last geforce driver install was removed.

:)

 

After I installed Win10 the Nvidia Geforce GT 650M card won't run anymore

Original Title: Optimus and Windows 10 (Nvidia & Intel)

I have just upgraded to Windows 10.

I have a Nvidia Geforce GT 650M

I also have an Intel HD 4000

After I installed Win10 the Geforce card won't run anymore and when I disable the Intel card in device manager games won't run and the "GPU State Viewer" tells me Nvidia is OFF. The only solution is to play with the Intel card atm, but there must be a fix?!
I've tried to reinstall the drivers (tried an old 350.12, and the newest). Uninstalled in safemode with DDU, Installed the latest Intel drivers, I've been to the Nvidia Control Panel and switched 3D graphics and Physx to Nvidia as prefered engine.

It's like I don't have a Geforce card at all. These problems occured when I installed Windows 10 and I've seen alot of people having the same problem, and even some fixed it but those fixes won't do it on my computer.

Anyone can shed some light on this situation? Is going back to Windows 8 and waiting for proper drivers the only solution?

Thanks!
