NV Updater not opening

Ok that is strange, you only have a 1050 ti? No integrated video card or something?

Hi,

I have this problem too.

I have a Geforce 1070, desktop PC (no onboard), Windows 10 18363.719

Maybe mine is crashing for a different reason, but here is my info - might help hbk4ever too.

I'm guessing the nice juicy stack trace here should help you out.

Looks like bad string parsing logic.

I'd suggest giving your app a global exception handler so that you can catch these types of unhandled exceptions and log or notify appropriately.

Hi there ,

first thank you for the information. Maybe you could test a little thing for me on your system:

Go to ks-soft and download the WMI Explorer 1.16

Start the Software and go to the "Query" tab

Execute the query:

select * from Win32_VideoController where Description like '%nvidia%' or AdapterCompatibility like '%nvidia%'

Then go to Menu action and save the file als csv file and attach it here

Ok, looks normal to me...and there is no error shown, not even in the windows eventviewer?

Please try the exe in the attachment and copy it to the install directory

I can't get this program to open nor is anything related to this shown in the task manager. There is no log file in the %appdata%/roaming folder either. I'm running Windows 10 Pro x64 with the latest updates with a GeForce 1050 Ti video card.

Did it create the file nvu_config.ini in the %appdata%\nv_updater\

Oh you only have to look at %appdata%\nv_updater\. You can copy that to your explorer Adress Bar. Ist should only be under your own profile .

The exe i attached does nothing else?

I dont think its a Windows problem

Ok first use the windows explorer, i dont know "Directory Opus" and if the tool can handle windows paths with %.

Then ensure the folder nv_updater does not exist in %appdata%, if it exits then delete it.

Then copy the new file and try it.

Hm i really dont Unterstand the Problem here
