Windows 10: I accidentally uninstalled my Nvidia graphics driver.

Hello.I was trying to solve an issue I had with my driver with it not being detected in the system and I thought it'd be a good idea to uninstall it to reinstall it afterwards.Needless to say I couldn't find I way to install it back so now I'm trying to find a way to get it back in my system as it was before.Thanks.

Nvidia Graphics Driver Not Compatible With This Version of Windows - Error

PC Specs:

• Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-Bit (Version 22H2) - I have the latest version installed
  
• Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700HQ
  
• GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 960M
  

I was having some problems running some games on my GPU so tried uninstalling and reinstalling the graphic drivers from Device manager.

But as soon as I uninstalled it, I could not install it again as it was showing this error "Nvidia Graphics Driver Not Compatible With This Version of Windows".

The error was the same even when I downloaded the specific version and tried to install the driver from Nvidia website.

It's not even showing up in my device manager anymore.

Any help/suggestion is much appreciated.

Thanks
