Here is a quick fix until you find the real issue. Step 2: Change the View by setting from Category to Large icons.Ĭan you find NVIDIA Control Panel listed here? If yes, open it, and under the Desktop tab, select ‘Add Desktop Context Menu’.Ĭheck again, and you should view the NVIDIA Control Panel option in the right-click context menu pop-up. Step 1: Search for and open the Control Panel. Overclocking is dangerous, especially if you don’t know what you are doing. I recommend you to change settings back to normal and reboot before checking again. Overclocking the GPU often results in problems like these. Thankfully, I rebooted my computer before opening up the back panel again, and there it was. I realized it when I opened up the laptop to apply the thermal paste and launched ThrottleStop to check the temperatures. The graphics card was missing and by extension, the NVIDIA Control Panel was missing too.
