I was playing a game and had to shut down my computer for about an hour. When I turned it back on and tried to play again, I realized my FPS was really low. Upon checking, I saw that my Nvidia GPU wasn't showing up in Task Manager anymore. I attempted to download drivers from the Nvidia website, but I received an error saying 'no Nvidia GPU is detected on your system.' I can't even access the Nvidia app or Control Panel, and the GPU doesn't show up in Device Manager either. Can someone help me troubleshoot this issue?

Make sure to check your BIOS settings. Look for an option under 'Advanced' or 'Display' to ensure that your dedicated GPU is enabled. Sometimes after a restart, settings can change, and you might need to toggle it a bit to get it back up.
You might want to try restoring your system to a previous point before the problem occurred. If you've created any restore points, that could help get things back to normal. Just search for 'System Restore' in your settings to check if that's an option for you.
