Download Nvidia Drivers with Control Panel

Looking at the reviews of Nvidia Control Panel in Microsoft Store of Windows 10, people do not seem to be happy when they have to go there and download the control panel separately instead of being included with the driver as before. 

The reason Nvidia Control Panel does not come together with the driver is because of the variant. There are 2 types of drivers; Standard and DCH.



By default when searching for nvidia drivers at nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx, you will be directed to DCH -- the ones without the control panel. 

Standard drivers are what we are looking for because it includes the control panel. 



As we can see from the picture above, 'Windows Driver Type' option is only available when doing an advanced search on the nvidia driver website.

To perform advanced search, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on 'Beta and Older Drivers' as shown in the picture below.



Make sure to choose 'Standard' for 'Windows Driver Type' to download driver with the control panel included.
