For a while now I havent been able to install graphics drivers for my 750ti. Instead of installing, after downloading the GeForce Game Ready Driver through GeForce Experience, it simply says that all aspects of the installation have failed. I wanted to install it because it apperently has some optimizations for PUBG, but after failing, I gave up once again and went to play some Doom. I have no clue as of how to fix this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Driver Version: 385.41

Specs:
Operating System
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
CPU
AMD Athlon X4 860K 81 °C
Kaveri 28nm Technology

Please note that CPU temps are inaccurate, currently sitting at around 28C idle and only climbing up to around 40-50C at max
 
Solution
If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)
http://www.guru3d.com/files-get/display-driver-uninstaller-download,20.html

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes...
GFE has been buggy lately across the past several versions and I'm not sure what's going on. a couple of months ago after a GFE version update and shutdown the entire GFE application and Nvidia control panel disappeared like I never had them installed. Like the other guy said, go with custom and clean install.

When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
