    Use DDU Uninstaller in Safe Mode to completely uninstall your current NVIDIA driver. After that, download and install the latest NVIDIA Game Ready driver from the official NVIDIA driver website for your specific notebook gpu.

    Step 4: Download the Latest NVIDIA Game Ready Driver

    Start by booting your laptop into Safe Mode to minimize interference. Restart your laptop clicking "Restart" to access advanced startup options. Select Safe Mode with Networking. Then, uninstall the current NVIDIA drivers by opening Device Manager, locating your NVIDIA graphics under "Display Adapters," right-clicking it, and selecting Uninstall Device. If prompted, check the box to delete the driver software for the device. You can further ensure there are no remnants of old drivers by downloading and running Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) in Safe Mode, which clears out any leftover files or settings.

    Afterward, download the latest NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA Driver Download page. Ensure you select the correct drivers for your GPU and operating system. During installation, choose the Custom Installation option and check the "Perform a clean installation" box to avoid interference from old settings or files. Finally, verify your system is up to date by going to Settings > Windows Update and ensuring there are no pending updates, as outdated Windows components can sometimes create compatibility issues during driver installations.
