    For the love of God can someone PLEASE HELP ME.

    I re-installed Windows 10 Pro and when I got to installing the graphics drivers (first Intel then NVIDIA in MsHybrid mode) I could not install the "normal" NVIDIA drivers. It always said that it isn't compatible with this installation of windows and to use GFE to get the correct drivers. So I did that and GFE installed DCH drivers and I cannot find NVCP not even in the Store app.

    Can someone PLEASE guide me to install every driver as legacy. My mind isn't working anymore I literally spent the entire day on finding the correct graphics drivers Jesus.

    I've also been looking for this, my new laptop came with DCH version installed and I couldn't install the 'normal' ones over it (even after cleanup with DDU). I ended up just updating with latest DCH drivers and it's working fine.

    Why do you need the regular drivers? What do you mean you can't find NVCP?

    Nvidia Control Panel (now an app) didn't install as it should with DCH drivers. So I went to Nvidia's direct link to the Microsoft Store app to get it and it isn't installing and therefore I cannot access NVCP. I'm so tilted right now, I'm getting funny ideas in my head. Here's what I'll try tomorrow- download and install Windows 1803 which doesn't support DCH drivers and try ALL my tweaks and settings and re-installs all over again. :|

    Nevermind guys I did it! Didn't have to take drastic measures. As someone said, when in doubt (with graphics drivers), use DDU. Rebooted into safe mode, ran DDU, restarted and tried Standard NVIDIA drivers and voila- It installed just fine.

    Thank you for your help people and praise the DDU Gods!
