NVIDIA Game Ready Driver 572.16

As you probably know, I had the same issue just a few minutes ago.

Below, I’ll explain how I solved it:

  1. In Safe Mode, I uninstalled the NVIDIA driver using DDU – this step is very important.
  2. After uninstalling and restarting, I installed the latest driver, version 572.16
  3. A crucial step: During the driver installation, I selected the option to install only the driver. In the next window, I chose the driver, PhysX and the “clean installation” option.
  4. After installation, I restarted my PC, and MSFS 2020 is now working.

As you may have noticed, I did not install the NVIDIA app.
