People who work on graphic intensive applications like games or any video rendering software, constantly need to control how their graphics card is used. Some gamers constantly need to toggle their Graphics Quality settings to get their FPS (Frames Per Second) up. Some need to adjust the size, orientation, scaling, etc. of their displays to work better or use their computer in a more efficient way. Here is where NVIDIA Control Panel comes into the picture. First of all, this software works on computers only with an NVIDIA Graphics Card attached. So, if you use any other graphics card, this would not work for you. But what if you find that the NVIDIA Control Panel is not opening on your Windows computer?

The mind boggles. I've seen a couple of posts on this topic but don't recall the others mentioning DCH, and wasn't aware of DCH.

Looking that up, I wonder why the DCH driver would not have Nvidia Control Panel ?

Is this because, what is supposed to be the superior - 'Universal Windows Driver', - won't allow it ?

Does it still allow you to install the 'Experience', (as suggested by Lee Qicheng) or are you left with no control over you game

settings from Nvidia at all ?

Does you machines having this 'special feature' mean your hardware cannot run the 'standard' WHQL Nvidia driver,

and your laptop mfg only offers the DCH driver ?

I know that MS have been pushing their Store hard, but don't understand why Nvidia would not also have a dedicated

Nvidia Control Panel download option on their site when they have one for the GeForce Experience....
