Windows 11 does not detect my Nvidia graphics card

Hi,

I have been using Windows 11 for quite some time, Suddenly one day I see my secondary Nvidia graphics card is not detected. Its not displayed in Device manager (even if I select "show hidden devices").

Also, in device manager below System component is showing error code 10.

intel pcie controller x16 1901

I tried reinstalling graphics card driver. Driver reinstallation does not detect my Nvidia graphics card.

I tried updating driver for above PCIe controller. But is already up to date.

I have not changed anything in BIOS. I tried defaulting the Bios values but dint work. ( My Nvidia card is detected in BIOS, only windows 11 has problem)

I tried backing out recent windows updates, dint work. I again updated all latest updates and optional driver updates suggested, dint work.

Since the card is detected in Bios, I am assuming its not an issue with hardware.

I have been doing some research, and in many places I see the PCIe controller issue associated with detection of graphics card.

Please help me resolve this issue.

    Apologies, but I don't see a Devices tab on the left side and I've tried the Lite and Full version of Armoury Crate.

    Any advice for me? My NVIDIA gpu has been missing for so long I've considered putting an ad on a highway billboard.

    Thank you RobertoCardenas, thank you. I had the same problem - Nvidia GPU just vanished off laptop - but a Lenovo Legion, not Asus. I rebooted, expecting that to reinstate the lost - and very expensive - GPU... but to no avail. It was then looking serious, until I luckily happened upon your solution here.

    I recognised the Asus Armoury Crate as probably equivalent to Lenovo's Vantage, so I fired that up and hey presto, switching the GPU mode inside there (from iGPU to Hybrid Mode) brought my RTX4090 back into life... phew!

    So this problem of the Nvidia GPU card disappearing is not limited to Asus.

    Thanks once again for taking the trouble to post up your solution. Top man!
