    My Einstein project was running fine at 100% CPU-GPU until few days back when I got Windows Creators Update.

    After the update Einstein reported "missing GPU".

    I have updated nVidia driver, reinstalled Boinc, deleted C:\ProgramData\BOINC data but my GTX 770 is still "invisible" for Einstein.

    I tried other projects (Asteroids, etc) and my GPU is working fine at 100%. Only Einstein suddenly refuse to see my graphic card.

    Any advice please ?

      I would try once more, but in this way:

      Download Wagnard DDU. Download CCleaner Free.

      Download latest official Nvidia driver from Nvidia site... or this Vulkan beta version if you like: https://developer.nvidia.com/38258-win8-7-64bit

      1. Disconnect internet connection.

      2. Remove Nvidia driver with Wagnard DDU (start it as administrator and let it reboot into Safe Mode). Let it reboot computer again.

      3. Install and start CCleaner and let it clean registry.. Reboot computer again.

      4. Install Nvidia driver (Start installer as administrator and check also the box "clean install"). Reboot computer again.

      5. Now you can reconnect computer to internet.

        It is screaming like a F1 car again.
