Both the Intel and NVidia cards showed installedĪnd working in Device Manager, but it wouldn't allow me to switch. Even when the game was set in the NVidia card in the NVidia Control Panel, it wouldn't run with the NVidia card. I couldn't right-click/run-with-NVidia with any game.

I had issues with the original Windows 10 driver.
Original old thread, in case you want to modify the INFs yourself for future updates:Įdit 1 - Forgot to mention the background/reason for this. Tested with Unit圓D and GuildWars 2 and it's lovely! It's a pain, but it's nice to have the latest drivers. Step 12 - I ran the "Custom (Advanced)" setup, Uncheck "NVidia GeForce Experience", and check "Perform a clean install".

Step 10 - Go to where your NVidia drivers decompressed and you moved the 2 INF files to (again, mine was located here:Ĭ:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\341.74\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International) Step 8 - IN THE STARTUP MENU - Select "Disable Driver Signing" after you get into the startup repair, just select "advanced options" and "startup menu" when you get to it, it'll reboot then give if it's spinning blue dots,įorce it off again and try again, but if it says startup repair, then let it continue (it's brute-force-like, but it works). OR you can reboot and as you see the Windows blue symbol and the spinning circle of dots, power off the system, force it off and on, as it boots back up, look to see if it still has the spinning blue "wait" as it's booting up. One is to change to the Legacy Startup Menu option, hit F8 on reboot (Steps here - ) Step 7 - Reboot and get to the startup menu. NOTE - Personally, I have the "Automatically get the device app.

Step 6 - "Never install driver software from Windows Update" (just do it manually) Step 1 - Right Click START button, SYSTEM Follow the steps below after you uninstall the NVidia driver. The biggest issue is, if you attempt to install a different version of the 335m driver, driver signing kicks in and stops you. This is the part that was giving me difficulty. Right click on the NVidia display driver, select UNINSTALL, check the checkbox for "Delete the driver software.", hit OK. Right click on the START button, select Device Manager. Overwrite the two files that are there (if you didn't already rename them as a backup). For me this was at:Ĭ:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\341.74\Win8_WinVista_Win7_64\International\Display.Driver\ It will save the files to your C:\Nvidia\ folder.ĭecompress it, it has 2 INF files, copy those files to the NVidia folder. Run it, then end its task after it decompresses the files. Currently there is no fix besides buying a new screen if this problem occurs.Īlienware laptops equipped with AMD graphics cards ARE NOT AFFECTED, this is a function of a NVIDIA graphics driver killing the LCD screen.You can run with the latest Intel graphics driver Windows 10 already installed.ĭownload NVidia graphics driver for 335m Windows 10 (version 341.74) If this is you, immediately roll back to Windows 7/8.1 or reinstall Windows 7/8.1. Known models affected: M18X R1, M18X R2, and the latest M18X (some call it the R3), and certain M17X models (I'm not certain which).
Folks who have disabled automatic updates and forced installed older versions do not seem to be having this issue.ĪGAIN: Alienware laptops with NVIDIA driver 353.62 with Windows 10 and Nvidia graphics cards are having their screens fail and the laptop will have 8 beeps.
