Recently, we find that it's easier to encounter NVIDIA installer failed problem on Windows Version 1507 (RTM) (OS build 10240). Users even fail to install Nvidia graphics drivers using the original installer package from Nvidia official site. Therefore, Driver Booster users may meet this problem as well when updating Nvidia graphics drivers. We still find that NVIDIA installer failed problem occurs on Windows Version 1803 (OS build 17134) and above.

Many factors can cause NVIDIA installer failed problem, while system incompatibility is one most important factor. Other main factors include: 1. the system is running a program related to Nvidia installer in the background; 2. Windows Update is working; 3. Incompatibility among different driver types.

Solution 2: For Windows 10 1507 and above

Preparation Work

The installer failed problem occurs on Windows Version 1803 (OS build 17134) and above mainly because of the incompatibility between NVIDIA Standard driver and DCH driver. To learn more about FAQs of NVIDIA Standard and DCH driver, you can go to NVIDIA official site: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4777

According to NVIDIA, you can’t install NVIDIA Standard driver and DCH driver on one computer at the same time. Driver Booster provides only NVIDIA Standard drivers for now. If users install DCH drivers on the computer and use Driver Booster to update NVIDIA graphics drivers, the update will fail. In the near future, Driver Booster will support DCH driver update to fix Nvidia Installer Failed problem.

You can use these two methods to check if you install DCH drivers on your computer:

Method 1: Use NVIDIA Control Panel

NVIDIA Control Panel -> System Information -> Driver Type

Method 2: Through Registry Editor

Step 1 press “Windows + R”, enter “regedit” to open Registry Editor

Step 2 if there is “DCHUVen” listed in the Registry list, it means NVIDIA DCH Driver is installed on your computer.

ComputerHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesnvlddmkm

When you know which type of NVIDIA graphics Driver is installed on your PC, you can choose from the two solutions to fix Nvidia Installer Failed problem.

Solution 2.1 Uninstall DCH drivers, then install Standard drivers

If you have DCH drivers on your computer, the easiest way to solve this problem is to “Ignore” the detected NVIDIA graphics Drivers. But you will not get the future updates of NVIDIA graphics drivers.

If you still want the driver updates in the future, please try Solution 2.1.1 to fix this problem.

Solution 2.1.1:Uninstall your graphics drivers and NVIDIA Control Panel

Step 1 use Device Manager to uninstall NVIDIA DCH drivers

-         Press “Windows + R”, enter “devmgmt.msc” to open Device Manager

-         Drop down “Display adapters”, right click on NVIDIA graphics drivers to start the uninstallation. (make sure to select “Delete the driver software for this device”)

-         Drop down “Sound, video and game controllers”, right click on NVIDIA High Definition Audio to uninstall it. (ditto, make sure to select “Delete the driver software for this device”)

Step 5: Restart the system after the installation is finished and check if everything runs well. If the problem remains, please go to Solution 2.2.

Solution 2.2 Manually download and install DCH drivers from NVIDIA official site

If you want to continue using DCH drivers instead of replacing them to Standard drivers, you can only go to NVIDIA official site to update DCH drivers manually. This way, you will not get the latest updates automatically with Driver Booster but manually update those drivers every time when there is an update.

Go to the NVidia drivers download page here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

-         Select the right driver according to the graphics and system types. (Note: you must select "DCH” in Windows Driver Type)

-         Then download and install the original installer package, check if everything runs well.
