Solution


Okay so first i went to guru3d and used DDU to uninstall all of my old video drivers, next is i went to this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10/ and hit the download now for the media creation tool. After that i installed it and selected update this PC now and followed the steps. It took about an hour and a half and for me it installed everything including the drivers for the 1080...let me know if you have any more questions.

The latest updates for the GPU? If so then maybe just check Nvidia Geforce Experience if you have an Nvidia card but they should install automatically
