NVIDIA Control Panel won't open
To preface this, I'm entirely unsure if this is an issue with Windows Insider Dev builds specifically, or if there's something else wrong that I haven't been able to find on my own. I'm on Insider build 25290.rs_prerelease.230128-1120. This has been an issue for maybe a week, I'm not exactly sure how long, since I don't open NVCP all that often. I have an GeForce 940mx, and the driver (which I have reinstalled multiple times at this point) works just fine, as normal, in every way except that NVCP will not open. If I look in Task Manager, I can see that the Nvidia Control Panel process very briefly blips up and then disappears again. Also, whenever I try to reinstall the driver, after it's complete, when I first try to open NVCP, it does show the software license agreement window where you have to click Agree, but after clicking Agree, that window goes away and the NVCP never comes up. I've tried quite a few troubleshooting steps at this point, including installing multiple older drivers from a few months ago (a time period when I know NVCP was working), stopping and restarting services, etc. I am using DDU every time to fully uninstall the driver before reinstalling it. I've tried installing it as a clean installation and not, which makes no difference. I feel like I have no troubleshooting options left aside from reinstalling Windows, which I really don't want to do since I just went through that a few months ago and I'm only just now feeling like I've fully settled back in with all my random software and tools that I like having installed. I'm on Windows 11, and I am on the Insider Dev Channel, which could potentially be what's causing the issue, but I haven't seen any other reports of this issue in the Feedback app or anywhere else online. The biggest immediate problem this is causing me is that after reinstalling the drivers, all the games i was playing smoothly before starts lagging, as NVCP helps me to set up the settings required to boost the FPS, which I rely on heavily when playing games, and I have no way to set those settings without getting into NVCP. If anyone has any ideas how to fix this without reinstalling Windows, I will be eternally grateful.Solved10KViews2likes10Comments
