Now, look out for the following Services, and ensure that their Startup types are as follows:

• NVIDIA LocalSystem Container – Automatic

Double-click on it to open its Properties box. If the service is not running already, just select Start to start running them else first select Stop and then select Start to restart them.

Check if this fixes your issue.

2] Update your NVIDIA Display Drivers or migrate to the BETA release

One of the main things that you should be doing is updating your NVIDIA Display Drivers. For that, you just need to head to their latest Display Driver Download Website to download the NVIDIA driver.

Finally, run the downloaded file to install your latest drivers.

Reboot your computer for the changes to take effect.
