Thanks for the response, and thanks for your hard work on this @puzzlezaddict (and @Holger1405!)
I already did a clean install of my graphics driver about a day before making this thread. I followed this guide: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10/kw/remove and it didn't really do anything. Is this sufficient? Seems somewhat identical to what you're describing, just without the custom program to do the uninstall. I did the clean install afterward.
Do you think I should do it again with the program you mentioned? Would that be necessary?
@dentfaceah A Control Panel uninstall will leave behind some files from the driver, which is why the DDU apps were created. These leftover files might not be the issue, but for the sake of being thorough, it's best to remove them anyway. If it doesn't help, at least we'll know the driver isn't the problem.
