How do I install my Nvidia driver after upgrading to Windows 10?
After installing Windows 10 on my Dell Vostro 3700 notebook I noticed that some of my games(Payday2, FarCry3) began running very slow. Other games like CS:GO and TF2 and L4D2 all run no problem on my other intel video card. At first I thought it was just some programs running at startup so I fixed that and it didn t work. So I open the device manager and realize that there is a yellow triangle where my Nvidia card should be and it says "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter". So I try to reinstall my Nvidia driver thinking that that was the issue and the Nvidia installer say that it doesn t detect my device. So I try updating bios and installing the Nvidia software...still no go. I try installing the latest software(352.84) still didn t work. I read on a forum that someone with the same video card as me(GeForce 330m) had the same problem and installed the 347.52 version and that worked for them so i tried that and it still doesn t work. I try uninstalling the old drivers for that device and disabling it and reenabling it and went into the task manager and tried ending all Nvidia processes...still no go. I m pretty stumped at this point. Everytime I made sure to run as administrator too and I think I tried compatibility mode for windows 8 one of the times. At this point I m pretty stumped and don t know what else to try. If anyone has had this problem or knows what I should do that would be amazing. I just spent hours trying to figure it out to no avail. Thank you!
1. you can't unplug a video card for a laptop but I did disable and reenable it like I said if you read my message which didn't work.
2. I have been trying to install the manufacterers driver.

This (sorta) happens with my external monitor. I use a really old Compaq monitor and have it connected via VGA. I like to use the highest screen resolution setting instead of the recommended setting, I go to the screen resolution settings a lot (because I have a laptop that sometimes needs to travel). However, I've noticed something. After being disconnected and reconnected on a different boot, the monitor name changes from Compaq FS7600 (I know, really old) to Generic PNP Monitor. However, I've noticed that once I restarted, it would change back to Compaq FS7600.
I suggest restarting your device. If that doesn't work, then force shutdown using the power button and wait a little bit, and turn it back on again. It may be fixed.

I would try installing the manufacturer's driver.
Edit: I don't mean the Nvidia driver, I mean the one from the PC's manufacturer.
