It's a fresh W10 install, Windows has detected it's a GTX 960 and shows it in device manager and I'm getting the full 1080p picture on my TV that I'm using but when I try to run the Nvidia installer for the latest version of Windows it says there's no compatible hardware? Motherboard is a GA-H61M-S2PV Rev 2.0 if it matters.
 
As above, make sure you're downloading the right OS and version - ie: Windows 10 64-bit.

I don't suppose it will help, but also make sure your BIOS is up-to-date. The latest BIOS, FIc (beta), mentions this in the description:
Improve High-End Display card compatibility
 
Otherwise, force the driver in device manager?

(let the downloaded file extract, but don't run setup after)
Either try updating the current driver, or remove the driver and then ''add a new device'' and ''let me pick what device to install'' and manually point to the extracted INF's in C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\388.59\Win10_64\International\Display.Driver...

My bet wrong OS though or wrong card selected from selection menu.

It does install the nvidiaCPL that way iirc, but not the other malware (geforce exp, telemetry, update, nview, whatever other rubbish they pack these days). I tend to install drivers from device manager as a rule, as it's faster and doesn't come with all the rubbish, just the driver that you want :).
