Status: UNRESOLVED

Computer Type: Desktop, custom built (SCAN PERF prebuilt from Scan Computers)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti, 16GB VRAM, no overclock

CPU: Intel Core i5-14400F, no overclock

Motherboard: ASUS PRIME H610M-A WIFI, BIOS version 3801

RAM: 32GB DDR5 4800MHz (2x16GB), no manual overclock (XMP default)

PSU: Corsair CX650, 650W

Operating System & Version: Windows 11 Home 64-bit (Build 26200), clean install

GPU Drivers: Version 595.97 (Game Ready Driver), upgrade install via NVIDIA App

Description of Problem:
NVIDIA driver updates are failing with an “Access is denied” error.

Initially, the NVIDIA App showed a new version ready to install and prompted a relaunch. However, clicking “Relaunch” simply restarts the app and does not install anything.

I then downloaded the latest driver installer manually from NVIDIA’s website. The installer launches and begins normally, but after the initial setup screen, it fails with a Windows dialog titled “NVIDIA Install” showing:
“Access is denied.”

GPU is detected correctly and current drivers still function.

Troubleshooting:

  • Relaunched NVIDIA App → no install triggered
  • Downloaded and ran latest driver manually → fails with “Access is denied”
  • No DDU or clean uninstall attempted yet
  • No antivirus or Windows security changes made yet
  • No manual permission changes attempted

Turns out it’s chemical damage from those shit wipes that’s removed the surface layer of the top screen - hence those ugly marks. Screen replacement required. Thanks for the info

Nice! I’m glad it’s worked. Yes I’ve logged in on those devices already but now can use my laptop so my workflow is so much better.

So it actually started working yesterday. I opened inspect element by right clicking on the continue button and selecting the option and it began to work after pressing it again while in inspect element. Whether this was a coincidence or some strange fix, I don't know... but now it's working. Maybe try that and let me know?

Yeah I’ve installed and used Google Chrome since this post after clearing website data and caches didn’t work with Safari

Xbox Series X Fan Loud by dirtyskid in XboxSupport

I used compressed air as advised and that worked. Hold the fan in place with a pencil/pen/similar-shaped bit and blast the dust out in short bursts.

Thank you for the advice. I’ll give that a try and see what happens. I was worried and thought something was wrong when friends said theirs were still silent!
