High frame rates and NVIDIA control panel has disappeared
Hi everyone. I've got a problem with my laptop and high frame rates and I would really appreciate any help with it.
I haven't been able to play for a couple of months but I tried to play TS3 today and all the graphic options had returned to default and with fps on cheat on, I could see that frame rates were over 200. I presumed this was because a NVIDIA update was installed in June and I haven't played since the update.
I went to adjust the settings in NVIDIA control panel like I know I need to do after an update but the NVIDIA control panel has disappeared!
It used to be under hidden icons but it's not there anymore. I tried to find it by searching but the only NVIDIA thing that I can find on my laptop is the NVIDIA GeForce Experience which I've never used.
I've searched for info on this and found this thread which details a similar problem:

I followed the steps in one of the posts and checked under Intel control panel, 3d settings and browsed for the TS3W file under programs files and have reset it to 'use application default settings'. I've since loaded my game again and it's still over 200 fps.
Oh and this is what it says in my device config file:
=== Graphics device info ===
Number: 0
Name (driver): NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M
Name (database): GeForce GTX 660M

Chipset: Vendor: 10de, Device: 139b, Board: 115b1462, Chipset: 00a2

Could anyone please help me? I don't know what to try next.
