At times you may see that the NVIDIA Control Panel is not showing when you are trying to see display settings on Windows 10. To fix this problem, it is good to be aware of how the problem works. Here's how it works:

Scenario 1. The NVIDIA Control Panel is working, but does NOT show in the context-menu when you right-click the desktop.

For the first, scenario, simply open the NVIDIA Control Panel by clicking Start and then type "NVIDIA Control Panel." Next select it from the search results. This will open the NVIDIA Control Panel settings.

Go on top, click Desktop and make sure the option that says "Add Desktop Context Menu " is checked.

Scenario 2. The NVIDIA Control Panel does not work at all. If this is the case, simply uninstall the current drivers by going to the Device Manager. Next, install the new drivers.
