Why can't open Nvidia Control Panel?

Problems with Nvidia driver installation can cause the Nvidia Control Panel to disappear or refuse to open.

This problem is usually caused by missing, incomplete or improperly installed Nvidia drivers. You can fix the problem by installing the latest Nvidia driver. The latest Nvidia driver installation method works with most Windows PCs, but may fail if your PC manufacturer uses a proprietary Nvidia driver version.

If this is true, installing the Nvidia driver will display an error message warning you to download a driver that is not compatible with your device. You will need to download the new driver from your PC manufacturer's support website instead of from Nvidia.
