При загрузке драйвера nvidia ошибка

Драйвер видеокарты обычно устанавливается в фоновом режиме, однако встречаются ситуации, когда инсталляция не выполняется или завершается ошибкой, из-за чего графический адаптер начинает сбоить. Мы собрали наиболее распространённые причины неполадки и нашли для каждой несколько простых решений.

Сбой при установке

Самая распространённая ошибка при инсталляции драйвера видеокарты  — сообщение с текстом «Сбой программы установки NVIDIA». Устранить её можно разными способами. Первый — использование драйверов, скачанных с официального сайта NVIDIA. 

1. Открываем сайт NVIDIA.
2. Переходим на страницу «Драйверы».
3. Заполняем форму поиска: тип продукта, серия, семейство, операционная система. Тип драйвера и тип загрузки можно оставить по умолчанию. 
4. Скачиваем подходящее ПО и устанавливаем его как обычную программу.

   

   Форма на сайте NVIDIA помогает найти правильный драйвер для видеокарты

Мешать установке могут также предыдущие версии драйвера. В таком случае необходимо их удалить, прежде чем выполнять инсталляцию нового ПО. 

1. Открываем «Панель управления».
2. Переходим в раздел «Программы и компоненты».
3. Сортируем список по издателю и находим все продукты от NVIDIA.
4. Удаляем их по очереди и перезагружаем компьютер.

   

   Обычно установлены сами драйверы и утилита для обновления

После перезагрузки приступаем к установке предварительно скачанного драйвера графического адаптера. Если снова появляется ошибка, то идём ещё дальше и полностью удаляем видеокарту из списка оборудования.

1. Открываем «Диспетчер устройств». Найти его можно через встроенный поиск Windows.
2. Раскрываем раздел «Видеоадаптеры».
3. Кликаем правой кнопкой по графическому адаптеру NVIDIA и выбираем опцию «Удалить».

   

   Удалим оборудование, чтобы систем забыла о его старой конфигурации

4. Не закрывая «Диспетчер устройств», переходим в меню «Действие» и нажимаем «Обновить конфигурацию».

   

   Попросим систему заново обнаружить подключенное устройство

5. В разделе «Видеоадаптер» снова появится графический адаптер NVIDIA. Кликаем по нему правой кнопкой и выбираем опцию «Обновить драйверы». 
6. В окне мастера обновления выбираем режим «Выполнить поиск драйверов на этом компьютере».

   

   Установим драйвер в ручном режиме
7. В следующем окне нажимаем «Выбрать драйвер из списка уже установленных».

   

   Будем искать установщик на компьютере

8. Нажимаем «Установить с диска».

   

   Дисков с драйверами давно нет, но название кнопки осталось прежним

9. Указываем путь к файлу драйвера, который предварительно был скачан с сайта NVIDIA.

   

   Покажем мастеру установки, откуда брать файлы драйвера

10. Выполняем инсталляцию. 

При таком подходе никаких ошибок при установке драйвера NVIDIA быть не должно. Фактически мы устанавливаем его с нуля. Впрочем, могут быть и другие причины сбоя.

Неверная разрядность ОС

При инсталляции драйвера может также появиться сообщение о том, что продолжить установку невозможно. Часто это связано с тем, что при выборе программного обеспечения видеокарты была выбрана неправильная разрядность системы. Из-за этого возникает конфликт, который можно разрешить только одним способом — скачать корректный драйвер.

Первым делом уточняем разрядность Windows. Находим значок «Компьютер». Кликаем по нему правой кнопкой и переходим в «Свойства». В окне со сведениями о системе находим строчку с типом. В ней указана разрядность.

После проверки типа системы возвращаемся на страницу загрузки драйверов видеокарт NVIDIA. Указываем в форме для поиска тип, серию, семейство продуктов, а также операционную систему с подходящей разрядностью — в нашем случае это Windows 10 64-bit

Принимаем лицензионное соглашение, скачиваем файл для установки, запускаем его и выполняем стандартную инсталляцию драйвера. На этот раз ошибок быть не должно.

Неподходящая видеокарта

Ещё одна возможная причина того, что драйвер не устанавливается, — несовместимость с видеокартой. В таком случае в сообщении об ошибке может быть ещё и соответствующее пояснение.

Для устранения этой проблемы необходимо скачать с сайта NVIDIA подходящие драйверы. Но прежде давайте ещё раз посмотрим, какая у нас точно модель видеокарты — значение имеет каждая буква и цифра в названии. Есть огромное количество способов сделать это, но мы воспользуемся информацией из «Параметров».

1. Открываем меню «Пуск» и переходим в «Параметры» или используем сочетание Win+I для быстрого запуска системного приложения.
2. Выбираем раздел «Система».
3. Переходим на вкладку «Дисплей» и нажимаем на ссылку «Свойства графического адаптера».

   

   Вся информация о видеокарте доступна в её свойствах

4. В сведениях об адаптере смотрим блок «Тип». Это и есть модель видеокарты.

   

   На этом компьютере установлена видеокарта GeForce TXG 1060

Для верности используем ещё один способ проверки. Нажимаем на клавиатуре сочетание Win+R, выполняем команду dxdiag и переходим на вкладку «Экран». В поле «Устройство» в строке название указана модель видеокарты.

 Загрузка …

Узнав точное наименование графического адаптера, возвращаемся на сайт NVIDIA и выбираем подходящее оборудование в каталоге, не забывая и про разрядность системы. В ответ мы получим полностью совместимый драйвер, при установке которого не должно возникнуть никаких проблем.

We all know how critical the graphics drivers are, and the significance of keeping them up-to-date. However, a lot of users have reported that the Nvidia drivers are not installing in Windows 11.

This poses a major hurdle since a lot of errors can be encountered on running an outdated version of the graphics driver. Hence, it becomes imperative that you resolve the issue and get your hands on the latest version.

To update Nvidia drivers, you can either use the GeForce Experience application or install just the driver itself. We will walk you through it as well in the later sections.

Before we head to the fixes, it’s imperative that you understand the underlying causes for effective troubleshooting.

Why won’t my NVIDIA drivers install?

This could be due to a bunch of reasons. In case you are trying to install the Nvidia drivers right after upgrading to Windows 11, there is a chance of encountering the error. This is because the OS too might be trying to locate and install the same driver.

If your PC already has a newer version installed, you may encounter the Nvidia drivers not installing issue in Windows 11. A background program, most likely an antivirus, may also conflict with the installation and lead to the error.

How do I force NVIDIA drivers to install?

1. Right-click the Start icon from your Taskbar then choose Device Manager.
2. Here, look for your Nvidia driver, under the Display adapters section. Right-click it and choose Uninstall device.
3. Reboot your PC in order to automatically install the driver.

Without further ado, let’s see what you can do if the Nvidia driver is not installing on Windows 11. Follow along!

7. Reset Windows 11

This should ideally be the last fix since the saved data and programs will be lost during the process. You can, however, create a backup of the files to avoid data loss.

The process to reset Windows 11 to its factory settings is quite similar to the one in the previous OS. You should be done with the whole process in a few hours without the need for a bootable USB drive.

Can I install the Nvidia drivers without the GeForce Experience app?

While some users prefer the GeForce application owing to the added functionality and ease, many still go with just the Nvidia driver in Windows 11 since for them the GeForce Game Ready driver installation failed. Here’s how you can do that.

4. Click Yes on the UAC prompt that appears.
5. Choose the extraction path and click on OK to continue.
6. It will take a few moments to save the required files to your computer.
7. The installer will launch next and check whether the system requirements are met.
8. Next, select the NVIDIA Graphics Driver option instead of instead of NVIDIA Graphics Driver and GeForce Experience to install just the driver, and click on AGREE AND CONTINUE at the bottom.
9. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.

Once the installation is complete, you will only have the Nvidia graphics driver on the system and not the application, thus saving some space.

What will happen if I uninstall NVIDIA drivers?

Uninstalling your Nvidia drivers won’t have any negative consequences for you. They will be erased from your computer and then replaced with fresh ones.

You have the option of either restarting your computer or going to the company’s website to look for the most recent version of the software that is available for download.

Uninstalling your drivers is a frequent solution to use in situations in which they have a glitch or cease working properly.

There are all the ways you can fix issues while installing Nvidia drivers in Windows 11, along with a quick method to get just the driver. Many users faced the Nvidia driver installation issues in Windows 10 as well, and the fixes are pretty much the same.
