    Each time i try to install NVDIA system tools, some error comes up. After each of the 3 components in it install, the drivers refuse to start up and the installation asks for a reboot.. After the reboot , the system update and monitor work but the performance part doesn't.. i didn't have this problem when i installed the 186.81 driver.. i just changed to the 195.39 drivers last week and since they were making my GPU way more hotter , i went back to 186.81.. i did a clean driver install and wiped all traces of the old driver.However system tools has this problem.. plz help!

    It worked fine for me about an hour ago, i don't know why the installation wouldn't work for you. Try completely redoing the drivers from scratch?

    what did you use to completely clear all remnance of the driver in safe mode?
    was it driver cleaner pro.

    ive had this problem before, but i cant remember what exactly it was that fixed it.
    my routine is to uninstall drivers, reboot in safe mode, driver sweeper run twice (it finds things on the second run it couldnt dellete in the first)
    reboot into normal, install new drivers (with wifi turned off to prevent microsoft auto update interfering)
    reboot, install system tools again, reboot.
    takes a while, but it works.
