How to find and install the right display adapter driver.

I had made a post a few weeks back about a nivida display adapter driver not working. I had received an answer that worked and was using that for a while and only until recently did it start to hinder me. It didn't matter If I was playing a game that didn't need a high quality visuals, talking to my friends or working on a project it would crash my computer and disconnect. eventually it bothered me when I kept losing my progress on my projects so I looked for a replacement online. I followed a tutorial, only for it to not work and tell me to remove my driver completely. I've tried the official nividia/geforce site for a replacement but none of them want to install. Also as a extra kick in the head I realized the issue was it overheating and my cooling fan (Which wasn't in use because my laptop was sent in for repairs and came back mostly ok aside from the entire left side ports not working so I chose the mouse over the cooling fan) could have easily prevented this from happening. So here I am, asking for any good ways to find and install a replacement display adapter driver for my nitro 5 gaming laptop. It would really help out a lot since what's the point of a gaming laptop if it can't play games that aren't made in decade old engines.

It would help if you told us what exact Nitro 5 model and gpu you have and what OS you are running? As a gaming laptop function depends on how your laptop is setup overall, as there are other drivers that intergrade with how your laptop functions overall and in the actual game settings. You not only need to install the latest NVidia GRD graphics driver, but you need to install all the Intel drivers (use the Intel DASA scan) and all latest WU and have the right settings for the games you play. For the NVidia graphics to perform properly in games, your Nvidia graphics needs to be properly setup through Control Panel and also use their GeForce Experience settings for the games you play, as this is a way to easily setup the gpu for whatever games you play.

On the latest Nvidia GRD graphics drivers, what I've found, is that the best way to install a new driver is to completely uninstall the previous driver offline and then install the new driver offline too and make sure that WU does not update them, so watch the WU and disable any auto Nvidia driver that WU tries to install. As I've done all the above on my Nitro 5 and it functions perfectly on Win-11 22H2 latest version and all the above.

For the OS it's windows. Not 100% sure this is the model I think it's an AN515-55. I can't remember the graphics card that I deleted other then it was a intel(R) UHD graphics card. I have no idea what Dasa scan or "WU" is.
