3. Check and restart the NVIDIA service is running on Windows 10


Just as our system needs general services to function properly, NVIDIA requires that its services are running well for it to function fully. If this is not the case, it is likely that errors such as not opening the control panel. This control panel requires two services that must be running. We can also stop the service if it is running and restart it. To verify it we will do the following:
Step 1

Press the following key combination and execute the services.msc command in the Run window

+ R

Step 2

In the services window we will look for the one called “Nvidia Display Container LS” and double click on it. image
Step 3

In the next window we will have to choose the "Automatic" option in "Start Type" and then click "Start" if the button is active. If it is not it is because it is already running. You would have to do the same with the “Nvidia Network Service Container” service.

4. Open NVIDIA from exe file in Windows 10


It is possible that the shortcut you have to open the control panel is damaged so we will check this by opening the panel from the downloaded file.
Step 1

Normally the path to access the location of the NVIDIA control panel exe file will be as follows:
 C: \ Program Files \ NVIDIA Corporation \ Control Panel Client 
Step 2

Here we will see the file nvcplui.exe, double click on it to open the Control Panel. image
Note
Right click on this file and select "Send to - desktop" to create a new Control Panel shortcut.

5. Disable quick start in Windows 10


The quick start is a function that helps Windows 10 start faster compared to previous versions. But it can also give problems, including with the NVIDIA Panel. To deactivate it we will do the following:
Step 1

From the Windows 10 search engine access the "Power and suspension settings"

image

Step 2

Within the “Start / shutdown and suspend” section, we enter “Additional power settings. image
Step 3

Here we click on the option “Choose the behavior of the start / shutdown button. image
Step 4

Click on the option "Change settings currently unavailable" image
Step 5

Here we can deactivate Windows 10 Quick Start. After that, test the operation of your NVIDIA panel. image

6. Verify that the NVIDIA Control Panel is active in Windows 10


Sometimes you cannot enter the NVIDIA panel because it is hidden by some software and you cannot locate it. To relocate we will do the following:
Step 1

We open the Control Panel from here:
Step 1

Here we locate the NVIDIA Control Panel and click on it. image
Step 1

Inside the Panel we will go to the top and activate in “Desktop” the option of “Add desktop context menu” and “Show icon in notification tray”. image

7. Verify antivirus and Windows Defender in Windows 10


There is also the possibility that our virus analysis system or Windows Defender itself is preventing the execution of the NVIDIA control panel because it detects it as harmful to our system. This happens many times with third-party software and although it is not always synonymous with danger, it is fine to analyze them. Depending on the antivirus you have, you will have to verify that you have NVIDIA allowed programs as with Windows Defender.
Antivirus in Windows 10
Exclude program in Windows 10

In this way we will have different possibilities to be able to repair that we cannot open our NVIDIA Control Panel in Windows 10.
