NVIDIA Control Panel not Available After Windows Reinstallation on Alienware Systems

After a clean installation of Windows, you may notice that the NVIDIA Control Panel is not installed. This is normal behavior as after installation only the basic driver is installed and the NVIDIA Control Panel is automatically installed by the Windows Store.

Supported Systems:

All Systems with NVIDIA GPU

The NVIDIA Control Panel app is automatically installed from the Windows Store with select PCs during driver installation. Manual installation from the Microsoft Store is not necessary. Windows update service must be running for the store app to get downloaded during driver installation. Minimum system requirements for the NVIDIA Control Panel app are listed below:

• NVIDIA GPU with DCH1 driver installed
• Microsoft Windows 10 Fall Creators Update or later (17134 build or higher)
• X64 CPU

If the NVIDIA Control Panel is not installed during the installation of an NVIDIA DCH display driver, you may manually install it from the Microsoft Store from the URL below:
