Intention behind this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since the 3D vision no longer works with drivers after version 452.XX, there have been increasing reports of not working 3D in games. There is also a lot of experimentation and drivers installed back and forth. Back then, when I tracked down the problem with drivers after 425.XX, when 3D Vision could no longer be installed, I noticed that a CLEAN installation is worth gold. Often times, problems are associated with installing one driver on top of the other. I also can't say enough: USE DDU and reinstall the driver .... In the end, if the problems persist, I don't know whether it is an installation error or actually a problem with the 3D fix.
For this reason I wanted to create a tool that eliminates these question marks. Start, choose the driver and wait until the installation is done. The tool I am now releasing is close to a ONE CLICK APPLICATION, which enables exactly that. The only thing that the user has to decide is which driver to install and whether or not he wants Geforce Experience. Everything else is carried out without any user action, except for the login after a system restart
What this Tool do:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- giving you the options to install any driver suitable for 3DV and any driver of your choice without trouble, installing 3DV in dependency of the driver and the OS.
- fastest way to install/switch drives
- you can install latest NVDrivers if you want, for example to play 2D or VK3DV or VR
- you can install DCH drivers (NVCP will be installed also without MS store), the tool detects your current driver state (STANDARD or DCH) and choose a suitible driver to install.
- you can choose ADVANCED OPTIONS that toggles more drivers to install and option to do without DDUcleaneup or install slim drivers. Please use the inbuild HELP for more information.
- 3D-Vision will be installed and activated without the 3DV-Setup, set to 100 % separation and enable advanced keys.
- install latest driver profiles
- if needed, driver hack will be installed, if you want, you can also disable it and enable again using the tool
- repair function for 425.31 perma 3D enabled bug => Note, this may only work until the next system restart and than needs to be redone...
Restrictions / Rules / Needs:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- you need to be system admin in general
- NOTE: 452.22 is a HOTFIX of 452.06 for windows 10
- SLIM drivers are only available for 452.22/ 452.06 / 425.31, not for latest NVidia Drivers.
- ANTIVIRUS solutions can kill the tool or some actions so that it can fail, please make to disabel AV also if your system restarts until you are done with the tool. PS: WindowsDefenter is OK and can be left enabled.
- you BADLY need to prevent Windows AUTO update, other wise windows will install 451.72 in the background or after using the tool. Please check the HELPTEXT from the tool for information.
- you need a working internet connection. Do not use the tool without NETTWORK!
- if you are coming from tool version before 3.0 you should redownload the tool, AUTOUPDATE may not work properly! The new package is linked below. You can overwrite your current tool installation, no extra folder needed.
- any game profile update will DELETE your manual changes made with NVidia Inspector, you need to redo this if needed, do not forget
- performing DDU clean driver installation will force you to redo EDID override stuff
- not automatic handled issues can be fixed reset the tool by z_Reset.cmd AND restart your system, than try again
- a dummy process called dumyXXX.exe will be started sometimes and killed within the install process, to prevent double starts, please IGNORE this and DO NOT CLOSE it.
- try to keep your fingers away from keyboard while the installation process as long as you are not asked to do something; try NOT TO interrupt the script while running
- NOTE: New latest drivers will be stored in the folder "latestdriver", may check back here from time to time to delete outdated drivers if a new NVIDIA driver was available to save disk space.
Keys:
~~~~~~~~
0 - toggles installation of NVidia GeforceExperiance ON and OFF
D - toggles the switch of the driver typ. STANDARD and DCH
A - enables the advanced installation options, giving you more options to install drivers, only for users who know what they are doing/want.
H - show HELP texts with information, you should read this ONCE!
Usage:
~~~~~~~~~
- start 3D-Vision_Driver_Changer.cmd
- installation of NVidia GeforceExperiance is OFF by default, use KEY 0 to switch if you want
- choose the driver you want to install on your system from the main page to install 452.22 / 452.06 or 425.31
- if you want to install the latest driver from NVIDIA, press Key 9 here
- if you want to install another driver, place the driver (exe) package in the folder "usercustomdriver" and press Key 9 again. It can also be a self extracting archive you may have created for some reason (like makinga slim driver for example).

2. Main Menu for 452.22 / 452.06 or 425.31 - ADVANCED install options ENABLED
3. Sub menu for latest NVIDIA driver installation.
4. Main Menu after 425.31 driver was installed with this tool, you can see the REPAIR function for 425.31 there. Use it if you have the 3D permanent on bug. More information @ the help Sceen in the tool.
5. Main Menu after 452.22 driver was installed with this tool, you can disable or enable driver hack here, also watch the header as an example if you have update driver profiles.
Known Issues:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In dependency of your current setup and installed driver, the NVidia driver may restarts while the installation without warning, this CAN make problems but most of it was troubleshooted by me BUT:
- in any case of issues, the tool will tell you, please follow the things and read the texts
- you may think the tool is in a loop because some things where showed several times again, do not wonder, just relax and wait....
- sometimes, in dependency of your current setup/driver/system a driver installation an take upto 10 mins
- even if you may initially run into some issues or several tries to install a driver (this is related to the nvidia driver installation and how messed up/filled your system is because of previews hand made installations or automatic updates, once installed a driver with this tool the next installations should be troubleless.
- automatic windows driver update for the GPU is the most reason for fail with this tool, you will also fail if you install a driver a common way. PREVENT WIDNOWS GPU DRUVER UPDATE!! Use sledgehammer tool, see tools help screen for information. Also ensure this: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-t ... es-windows
