That's because you need the nvidia driver installed for the utility to work. You could try again http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx if the latest one doesn't work, try a version before that.



If that still doesn't work maybe you need to use DDU to remove any driver that was installed previously (that may have failed half way). After that, you could try installing the driver again. Or just start with DDU.

Get your video driver directly from GeForce.com/drivers


Select from the manual driver search drop down menus:

Geforce
GeForce 10 Series
GeForce GTX 1060
Your operating system
language
all

Click "start search" and download the most recent driver. During the installation, select custom installation and check the box that says "perform a clean installation".

As i mentioned in my query I tried doing that, they have a software called firestorm utility which manages the GPU. But, upon installation i get a prompt which says

"initial NVAPI fail software wont work properly."
