D5 Error After NVIDIA Driver Update – GPU Not Detected (Was Working Before)

Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue after updating my NVIDIA drivers, and I’m hoping someone here can help.

Everything was working perfectly before, but since the latest NVIDIA driver update, my system is no longer detecting the GPU properly. It is now showing:

  • Graphics Card: Unknown Graphics Card
  • Driver Version: Unknown
  • Error: D5 (GPU initialization failure)

Because of this, the application says that my system does not meet the minimum requirements, even though it was running fine earlier.

I have not made any hardware changes — the only change was updating the NVIDIA drivers.

Has anyone else faced this issue after a recent driver update?
Any fix or suggested driver version would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Did you try re-seating your GPU? You can also try running Display Driver Uninstaller. In safe mode.
