So in light of recent crashes with Far Cry 4, I moved on to Assassin's Creed: Origins. This was installed on a Lenovo ThinkPad P71 Mobile workstation with an i7-7700HQ, Nvidia Quadro M620, 16gb of DDR4-2400, WD SN750 Boot drive, and Intel Optane H20 (in SSD only mode, aka 760p PCIe x2) where the game was installed. Due to a strange issue with swimming underwater using Nvidia graphics causing fatal crashes, I attempted to update my driver manually. I did not bother to check what I was running before attempting this update. Drivers were downloaded and installed from the TechPowerUp main site 
lovetpu, but this did not fix the issue. One thing to note is that the only application installed was Nvidia RTX Desktop Manager, before the update. Afterwards, I attempted to uninstall the driver entirely, using the uninstall feature of Task Manager. Using this feature, I uninstalled Nvidia RTX Desktop Manager, Nvidia HD Audio Panel, and then Nvidia GeForce Experience. I then rebooted, and noticed that the driver control panel was on the list of installed programs under recently installed. I used the "right click->uninstall" method to remove this. I then entered device manager and uninstalled the M620 device under Display Adapters. I then attempted to install the driver version suggested online to fix the swimming bug, and received the following message:
I then opened AC Origins, completed the mission using my Intel integrated graphics (at roughly 7 FPS), closed the game, and attempted to install the updated graphics driver. Please note that this is the driver that had just installed successfully on this system before I uninstalled all drivers.
This also happens when I attempt to download the driver from the Nvidia website. I have tried the GeForce driver and the Professional driver, or as near as I can figure out. I have also attempted to load the driver via the control panel installed from MS Store. This did not even open.
Also, I am running 22H2 if that makes a difference.
