Other Ways to Get New NVIDIA Drivers
NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience can be installed to detect NVIDIA drivers that need to be installed. This makes it very easy to not only know when the drivers need to be updated but also where, exactly, to get the updates—the program will do it for you. Another automatic way to download and install NVIDIA drivers is a free driver updater tool. Even though downloading drivers straight from the manufacturer is always preferred, you can instead go through a third-party. See these driver download websites for some examples.
Having Trouble With These New NVIDIA Drivers?
A good first step if your newly installed NVIDIA drivers don’t work is to uninstall the NVIDIA installation package that you just ran and then reinstall it. You can do this from the appropriate applet in Control Panel. If you can’t reinstall the NVIDIA package for some reason, try rolling back the driver, also something you do from Control Panel. See How to Roll Back a Driver for detailed instructions in all versions of Windows.
