May take a few to set up if you've never used it. Log off your acct, and it will be an option on the login screen. To turn on the admin acct, click on Start, Run. DDU via safe mode, then log into the Admin to install. Use the same path as you did on your normal acct. Try turning that acct on, and installing thru that. One thing I've learned early on back in the day, is even if you're on an "admin" level acct, the actual Admin acct works a bit differently. Standard is as you have explained, a difference in packaging and installing. When directly comparing the two driver types, the DCH driver package has a smaller size and a faster installation time than the Standard package.

While the base core component files remain the same, the way DCH drivers are packaged and installed differs from previous (Standard) drivers. What is the difference between NVIDIA Standard and DCH Display Drivers?įunctionally, there is no difference between NVIDIA’s Standard and DCH drivers. Nvidia support was of no help whatsoever.

As mentioned I regularly install the Realtek DCH drivers. Perhaps there is a file in the DCH package that needs changing. I am hoping someone with way more knowledge of Nvidia DCH packaging can point me to the problem. There must be something on my system that is causing the DCH packaging for the drivers to fail. If the Standard drivers are no longer available I am basically 'stuck' on version 472.12 forever. I have too many programs that I would have to install again and I really don't have the time or energy to do so.

I plan to upgrade using Windows Update not a clean install. It's possible upgrading to Windows 11 might let me install the Nvidia DCH drivers. I use the Realtek DCH audio drivers and never had a problem installing them. Manually extracted the DCH drivers into their own folder and ran setup from there. Deleted every reference to Nvidia in my Registry as well as driver files which usually start with nv.ĩ. Used various uninstall program utilities.Ĩ. Installed over my current Standard driver.ħ. Checked the box on the Nvidia install screen to perform a clean install.ĥ. Ran the 3rd party DDU program to get rid of all traces of Nvidia. Not to be confused with a clean install.Ģ. I have tried everything I can think of, short of installing Windows clean, to try and get the DCH drivers to install. It is not the more common message of a compatibility issue. The message when done is the the Nvidia Installation Failed. This is my first indication the install will fail. The first thing I notice when installing the DCH drivers is that my screen does not go blank or change resolution as the Standard drivers do during the install. As a result of not being able to use the DCH drivers I have been using the Standard drivers.
Prior to 20H2 I was using the DCH drivers. My recollection is that I haven't been able to install Nvidia DCH drivers since I installed 20H2 when it became available on Windows Update. Makes sense since Intel and AMD only supply DCH drivers.
It appears that the Standard Nvidia Game Ready drivers are no longer being offered.
