A few days ago I tried to update the new nvidia drivers which failed along with the windows update. Currently my display adapter says its connected to the basic Microsoft Display Drivers and my gpu shows up as Video Controller (VGA Compatible) in other devices in my device manager. Have tried everything even with resetting my pc but that fails too.
 
Hello and welcome!

  4. Right-click on the DRIVERS file on your Desktop and select Send To -> Compressed (zipped) Folder
  5. Upload the zip from your Desktop to a file sharing service such as DropBox, OneDrive, SendSpace, etc. and include the link with your reply.
