Do i still need to use the DCH driver or can i use the regular driver?

I hate having to download the nvidia control panel from the Microsoft store.

If you have the DCH driver, you must install the DCH driver.

To get rid of DCH, try this:

hmm just wonder if this is normal or not, but why it took so long, it almost 5minutes waiting for aloading before installation begunView attachment 134222
is this just me with my potato pc?! or ayone had to waiting for the 5minute aswell:kookoo:
This step really takes a long time .. same with the original NVIDIA installer

and for some odd reason it would always fail to install a generic "PCI Device" driver on my RTX 2080
Any chance that's the USB-C driver and you unselected it?

Thank you, it looks really good.

Would it be possible to differentiate between the Game Ready Driver (GRD) and Studio Driver (SD)?

I have the Studio Driver installed, and this app offers to install the latest Game Ready Driver (the current Studio Driver release is 431.86 whereas the current Game Ready Driver is 436.48).

I probably did accidentally but I recall using the "Install recommended" and not particularly unchecking any boxes. I should've taken a screen shot :shadedshu: great software tho, thank you for the reply :rockout:

Recommended does not include the usb c driver, because nobody I know of uses those ports anyway

Thank you, it looks really good.

I have no plans to add studio drivers at this time (for download) you should be able to point it to your installer file and it should work

Off the top, please add in an option for beta updates as well. They are great once in a while and can take quite long to full release. Great tool overall! It will drop so many steps from an update routine. Thank you for this.

Why after checking 'install best driver for my hardware' this tool propose me older Driver than this on Official Nvidia Driver Download Website?

I have Quadro K5000M in Dell Precision Laptop.
