There are always problems of NVIDIA installer failed when we install NVIDIA graphics driver on Windows 10, such as 'The Standard NVIDIA Graphics Driver Is Not Compatible with This Version of Windows'.
Publisher's Description. Launch DS4Windows. A windows will pop up showing how to install the driver, if not, go to settings and click 'Controller/Driver Setup'. If you have used SCP's tool in the past, you may need to uninstall the drivers to use the DS4 with bluetooth. Connect the DS4 via a micro usb or through bluetooth. Today's tutorial will show you how to connect your DS4 controller to your PC using a freeware program called DS4Windows. You can use a micro-usb cable, or in my case, use bluetooth.
. Changed from using the same virtual Xinput device 1-4 as the Scarlet.Crush DualShock driver to using devices 11-14. There is now no conflict. The Xinput controller number does not correspond with the virtual Xinput device number unless you are only using DS4Windows and not using actual X360 controllers or the SCP DS3 controllers. After trying many complicated solutions that failed I came across this one and it works perfectly! I just tested it in Witcher 3 with no issues at all. If you have tried previous methods you will need to uninstall those drivers, I had a 'wireless controller' listed in my device manager and I couldn't get DS4Windows to work with this new method.
Recently, we find that it's easier to encounter NVIDIA installer failed problem on Windows Version 1507 (RTM) (OS build 10240). Users even fail to install Nvidia graphics drivers using the original installer package from Nvidia official site. Therefore, Driver Booster users may meet this problem as well when updating Nvidia graphics drivers. We still find that NVIDIA installer failed problem occurs on Windows Version 1803 (OS build 17134) and above.
Many factors can cause NVIDIA installer failed problem, while system incompatibility is one most important factor. Other main factors include: 1. the system is running a program related to Nvidia installer in the background; 2. Windows Update is working; 3. Incompatibility among different driver types.

Preparation Work
The installer failed problem occurs on Windows Version 1803 (OS build 17134) and above mainly because of the incompatibility between NVIDIA Standard driver and DCH driver. To learn more about FAQs of NVIDIA Standard and DCH driver, you can go to NVIDIA official site: https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4777
According to NVIDIA, you canât install NVIDIA Standard driver and DCH driver on one computer at the same time. Driver Booster provides only NVIDIA Standard drivers for now. If users install DCH drivers on the computer and use Driver Booster to update NVIDIA graphics drivers, the update will fail. In the near future, Driver Booster will support DCH driver update to fix Nvidia Installer Failed problem.
You can use these two methods to check if you install DCH drivers on your computer:
Method 1: Use NVIDIA Control Panel
NVIDIA Control Panel -> System Information -> Driver Type
Method 2: Through Registry Editor
Step 1 press âWindows + Râ, enter âregeditâ to open Registry Editor
Step 2 if there is âDCHUVenâ listed in the Registry list, it means NVIDIA DCH Driver is installed on your computer.

If you want to continue using DCH drivers instead of replacing them to Standard drivers, you can only go to NVIDIA official site to update DCH drivers manually. This way, you will not get the latest updates automatically with Driver Booster but manually update those drivers every time when there is an update.
Go to the NVidia drivers download page here: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
