Do you install GPU drivers in safe mode?

[Arclite]

Hi,

The last 2 Geforce game ready drivers have been a mission to install on my pc. I always uninstall drivers from safe mode using the DDU uninstaller and then come back to windows to install the new ones. Last months Geforce drivers just did not go through the installation in windows properly at all and always either closed the installer or just crashed it midway install so I ended up going to safe mode with networking enabled uninstalled the drivers and then installed it in there and then came back to windows to find the driver installed properly but Geforce Experience did not which I separately downloaded and installed.

So my question, is it a good practice to install GPU drivers from safe mode?

Did anybody have this issue lately with Nvidia drivers?

Thanks

No. Always install normally. Did the installation not produce a log file? Might be worth seeing if or does as sounds like an underlying problem.

Did not check for a log file, i simply thought that something was off with the driver itself.

Ok tried installing the new nvidia drivers and this time the installer said "other installations are running" and then asked me to close the installer.

Ok installed by extracting the driver file with winrar and then manually searching for drivers in device manager. Drivers installed and then downloaded geforce experience and installed it.

I looked it up and it appears others have had this issue but nothing has fixed it.
