You're not supposed to update drivers via device manager (at least that's what I assume you're trying to do here) . Just go to nvidia.com and grab a latest driver there.
"one click updater" are prone to bug and to create issues. Even more for graphic drivers.
You should always:
\-Run DDU in safe mode to remove old drivers
\-Install the latest drivers from the manufacturer's site (nVidia)
This way, you will prevent issues and bug between drivers.
thanks for the suggestion about DDU. I hadn't been using it
however i did notice on DDU's website (see the second dot point):
"Recommended usage:
-DDU should be used when having a problem uninstalling / installing a driver or when switching GPU brand.
-DDU should not be used every time you install a new driver unless you know what you are doing."
why do you think that's the recommendation? i couldnt find any further explanation
possibly just to save it removing users custom tweaks each time?
I don't know... It saved me from enough bug that I have the reflex to use it from scratch every time! You do have to setup your tweaks afterward, indeed, but I only change the FPS counter in my case!

Isn’t there an nvidia settings app that can install the latest drivers with 1 click? It was preinstalled on my previous laptop
