here is a solution that worked for me:
- Download DDU from h ttps://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
- Download your nvidia drivers from nvidia, extract DDU and place it somewhere easily accessible.
- Reboot pc into safe mode, Unplug network card, Run DDU, click ok on option screen.
- Select your driver set Nvidia/AMD (Yea this works for both, instructions for amd are same.)
- Hit start, and wait for it to finish( less that 2 minutes) Once its done, Reboot back into regular mode and reinstall your video drivers.
Kind of long winded but hey if it helps someone, so be it.
