How to Restore/Re-install Nvidia Control Panel after 610.47

Reinstall Nvidia Control Panel.md

As we all know, with driver updates after 610.47 Nvidia Control Panel is not installed in favour of the Nvidia App. I believe it should be a choice. Many maybe happy with NVCPL + advanced control of nvidiaProfileInspector. Also, some may not have the Microsoft Store installed.

Now, let's get to the point.

Driver Install:

1. Download the driver package from Nvidia's website or through NVCleanstall
2. Install via NVCleanstall. Set components to install -> Recommended
3. Optionally also check the notes section below for recommended NVCleanstall tweaks
4. Don't install yet

Nvidia Control Panel:

1. Open the install package folder from NVCleanstall
2. Display.Driver -> NVCPL copy this folder elsewhere
3. Install your driver.
4. After installation is complete. Reboot.
5. Open PowerShell as admin and run cd YOUR_NVCPL_FOLDER_PATH
6. Then just run the command Add-AppxPackage -Path .\7e010d7e2de54a439dbd340dd1f61212.appx make sure the .appx file name matches.

Voila! You should now have Nvidia Control Panel installed! Remeber to set your Dynamic Range and Colour Depth settings correctly.
