Maybe it needs a restart? Checked the allow restart option?

I too am unable to install the latest driver from nvidia via nvcleanstall.
My guess is someone needs to look at what nvidia changed recently in the last few drivers.
I too had to install the regular drivers from nvidia which is not ideal.
Currently on 526.98.
my nvcleanstall settings didnt seem to matter, my settings were 1. uninstalling telemetry 2. clean install 3. eac anti-cheat hook

Can someone please look into updating nvcleanstall to support the latest nvidia drivers?

I have 526.98 installed on this system that I'm typing on.. with NVCleanstall of course, so it must be some setting or something

Probably, Disabling Driver Telemetry is obviously the main reason I use this software, I also need clean install and eac.
I don't dabble with any other options.

I don't disable driver telemetry, and just went ahead and updated just a bit ago, it installed but after reboot Windows wasn't detecting I had a Nvidia graphics card installed at all. NV Control Panel wouldn't boot, as well as secondary monitors wouldn't display because of it. Not too sure what is going on, just trying to add to the oddness of whatever Nvidia recently changed.

Edit: Without rebooting I had device manager recognize and install the generic driver, and then booted Nvcleaninstall, after the generic driver NvCleaninstall recognized my 3070 again and installed it exactly the same way as prior. I have not rebooted yet but this time everything seems to have stuck correctly.

My tweak settings are below, in terms of packages I only install the Display Driver (default setting)

Awesome

This unfortunately did not work W1zzard.
I followed the exact screenshot you sent, but the installer fails.
I am on Windows 11 x64 pro v25231.1000 or 22H2

but the installer fails
Just to confirm, you see the progress bar from NVIDIA's installer move forward and then it just closes? When you turn off unattended, do you see any error message?

W1zzard, the latest driver is working just fine.
Must have been a specific issue with that particular driver.

Fixed:
Driver 526.98 fails to install on certain GeForce GTX 3060 Ti graphics cards [3872912]

you have a 3060 Ti ?

After further research, I realized the notebook driver installs correctly, but the desktop driver still fails to install.
My guess is there is some change made on nvidia's desktop driver that will need to be adjusted for nvcleanstall.

It was the version of Windows 11 that I was using.
I am on v25231
My other PC's are on older versions and can install without any issues.
We might want to ensure support for adding future insider versions of Win 11 + 10.
NVCleanStall v1.15.0 still has the same error and I cant install drivers on this particular insider preview version of Win11 x64

That's odd.
The installer file *.INF checks only for a minimum build

[Manufacturer]
%NVIDIA_A% = NVIDIA_Devices,NTamd64.10.0...14393,NTamd64.10.0...17098



btw since you are in insider channel can you manually check Windows update for R530 or R535 drivers?
I saw some kids out there playing with it and i'm curious where they got it from...

I have a tweaked build with win update removed, sorry can't check for those drivers unfortunately.
I am able to manually remove components to the nvidia driver, but the point of this tool is to make it smooth and easy when it works.

I have the same issue on Windows 11 Dev 25281 and the latest driver. The older drivers don't work either.
