I can’t confirm that. I uninstalled the older driver in Windows Safe Mode using DDU, which also removed the NVIDIA Control Panel. During the installation of the new driver, I chose the advanced installation, deselecting NVIDIA app and NVIDIA HD Audio – I installed only the driver and PhysX. NVIDIA Control Panel also installed correctly.
NVIDIA Control Panel has actually been available in the Microsoft Store for a long time.
EDIT
After installing the new driver MSFS 2024 freezes on the following screen
This is the second time the game has frozen on this screen. After launching MSFS 2024 by clicking the desktop icon, I went back to the desktop to avoid waiting on the loading screen, as MSFS 2024 takes quite a while to start, especially with all content installed and a large amount of community add-ons.
When I returned to MSFS 2024, the game had frozen.
EDIT2
After reinstalling the driver MSFS 2024 no longer freezes.
EDIT3
In some forum threads, users reported issues with the main thread when Frame Generation was enabled. In some cases, the main thread was even around 50ms. It seems that NVIDIA has significantly improved performance with FG enabled. I can confidently say that the issue is fixed. I haven’t made any changes in the NVIDIA Control Panel, and all MSFS .dll files are original.
FG enabled + TAA
YSSY
FG - disabled + max frame rate 60
KLGA
FG - enabled + max frame rate 60
FG+DLSS Quality
Below I describe how I uninstalled and reinstalled the driver. Please note that I did not install the NVIDIA app to make sure it has no impact on MSFS.
