acer nitro 5 NVIDIA driver keeps “greying out” in device manager
Tinkerer
hi, I have a problem
I have an acer nitro 5 laptop and my NVIDIA driver keeps greying out in device manager.
It has been previously fixed before but for some reason it keeps reverting back to its ghostly self. I have updated, uninstalled, reinstalled and restarted and still no change. It seems to oddly enough switch and change randomly. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers

Hello!!
The best solutions to these graphics drivers (don't rely on windows update or MS as they just give you their general jargon and have no idea of Acer products and drivers) the best is to either use the
Display Driver Uninstaller Download version 18.0.5
.4 (which I would use as you need to unistall both graphics and audio drivers of NVIDIA for your laptop) but, theNVIDIA GTX-1650 driver
for Win-10 or 11 which is the same driverGEFORCE GAME READY DRIVER Version: 516.94 WHQL
uninstall all previous NVIDIA drivers for your GTX-1650 gpu
but I don't know if they have an otion for the audio drivers?. Do that and then install driver version 516.94 as that will fix your problems, also install theIntel® Driver & Support Assistant
That is how I do things with all NVIDIA and Intel drivers and have done so for many years and never ever had any problems except with a new AN515-56 that has an Intel problematic Bluetooth driver issue in Win-11, which only has a driver problem with a Bluetooth (nor Wi-Fi) driver in Win-11 with the Intel scan but, I use the Acer OEM Bluetooth driver and that works perfectly and 100%.

Encountered problem. It will not let me extract the file and is refusing to run. Any advice?

Whenever you see a greyed-out device, it points to two things. The device was previously connected but currently isn’t (or isn’t powered on) though it exists in the hardware profile. Or, it could be a duplicate of a device that is not connected anymore. Try to uninstall the greyed-out device in Safe Mode, force uninstall if necessary and shutdown. Reboot and see in Device Manager if the device is OK now, if still greyed-out you need to delete the device with DDU in Safe Mode:
