NVIDIA, AMD, Realtek drivers won’t install Sometimes, the drivers just refuse to install as there are traces of earlier versions left behind or incomplete installation which create a conflict. Driver updates won't install with fresh installation of Windows 10 Hi. Yesterday I re-installed windows 10 because something bricked it hard to the point where it would go straight to the advanced boot options. Sometimes, drivers from the likes of NVIDIA, AMD, and Realtek install themselves, appears on the list but don’t respond. At other times, they just refuse to install on Windows 10.
GPU drivers are incredibly important to have installed and up to date, to ensure your graphics cards work as intended and you avoid encountering issues in PC games. A GPU driver is essentially software that handles communication between Windows 10, games and applications, and the graphics card component. It's very important.
Luckily, regardless as to whether you're an NVIDIA fan or on team red with AMD, it's easy to install drivers with a new GPU and keep them updated.
AMD uses the new Radeon Software to manage drivers, GPU settings, and game-specific options. Downloading and installing the software is straightforward, and if you're not sure of the GPU you have, AMD offers an auto-detect utility that can point you in the correct direction.
Checking for updates within Radeon Software can be achieved by opening up the suite and clicking on the update button in the lower left-hand corner of the window. The software will periodically check for updates and alert you with a notification, which can serve as a shortcut to the update process.
NVIDIA GPU drivers
NVIDIA's current software package is a strange one. Like AMD, the company has rolled out an updated suite that looks modern and fresh but bundles it with the older settings app, so you have two places to manipulate settings. Installing the driver can be achieved by heading to the NVIDIA website and either downloading the detector tool or specifying the GPU you have installed.
To check for updates, you'll need to launch the GeForce Experience app, since the traditional settings area does not sport this feature. With the GeForce Experience window open, choose the Drivers tab at the top and hit 'check for updates.' If an update is available it'll be displayed below with a button to install.

Nvidia Drivers Won't Install Windows 10 From Usb
Hello, I just upgraded to Win10 but it my Nvidia drivers aren't working. So I tried updating them to the new Windows 10 driver (353.62) but it keeps failing (see: http://imgur.com/5rkuV7I ). Then, I went to the Nvidia website and tried to download it from there but then this happens: https://imgur.com/eYYnYGc and when I try to automatically find the drivers it says that Java isn't installed (https://imgur.com/vDpc1pR) so I redownloaded Java for 1000 times but that also isn't helping. How can I fix this and download the Nvidia driver? Thanks!
