So when I was getting error in Nvidia app. I used DDU to safely remove the driver and reinstalled a new one. After that I say this blue screen error sometimes when I wanna go in to settings > display > graphics. This problem, I firstly saw when I was going into safe boot mode via the system settings when while browsing the tabs I got a blue screen for split sec. Here is a video of it. I did everything posted on post : post

The user of that post said it got fixed via an update. So should I wait patiently for the update or reset my pc or do something else ?

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

    If you cannot access the settings app, you would not be able to use that reinstall option in settings.

    The method I provided using the Windows 11 ISO is the best option to resolve this problem.

    And will that ask for my win11 key ?

    That is correct, download the ISO and then run the ISO from inside File Explorer.
