Hello,
The Nvidia Control Panel is not working. When i try to launch it, it shows an error saying "You are not currently using a display attached to an Nvidia GPU".
It works fine for a few days if i update or reinstall the drivers (for nvidia gpu). Then it just disappears (from the list that shows up when you right click on the desktop, it also does not show up in the system tray in the taskbar). When i locate the nvcplui.exe (control panel) in the program files and try to launch it, it gives that error i mentioned.
I am using a Dell laptop with GTX 960M.
I can still run games using the "run it with nvidia gpu" option (i can run Prey at 1080p with around 60 fps, so i guess it runs on nvidia gpu, not intel).
Any opinions?
