Clearly you have some sort of defect in your software . I get a display that works despite the fact I have integrated graphics disabled in BIOS . I tried deleting the old rtx-4080 super gpu in hopes this software would see the new ....and now only gpu in the pc , the rtx-5090 ?

That is not the case ! I cant remove a gpu driver when no gpu appears for me to select ! Also I know the rtx-5090 is functioning not only because I have a image to look at but also when I run HWinfo64 hardware monitor I have a section that says RTX-5090 BUT NO SENSOR DATA AT ALL .

Ive tried every suggestion I could find and its clear this 24H2 version leaves a lot to be desired .

Now my only choice is wiping the drive clean and installing windows all over again ! I see little point in restoring a disc image since it will only reload the same incorrect display adapter information and I'll simply end up where I started . Hours of reinstalling software and device drivers !!

Thanks to past crashes because of forced BS "updates" I always run two ssd's , where C:\ is only used for OS and D:\ is a data drive . I can't count how many times windows BS update has wrecked my pc with unwanted or needed "updates" . IN FACT THIS JUST HAPPENED ONE WEEK AGO ON A DIFFERENT DESKTOP .

This is what happens when a company monopolizes a product or service !

WINDOWS DESERVES COMPETITION ! SO SICK OF MICROSOFT WINDOWS BS PROBLEMS !

    It sounds like you're experiencing issues with Windows 24H2 not detecting your new RTX-5090 GPU after swapping it from the RTX-4080 Super. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    1. Check BIOS Settings: Ensure that the integrated graphics are indeed disabled in the BIOS. Sometimes, settings can revert after hardware changes.
    2. Reinstall GPU Drivers: Since you mentioned that you can't see the GPU to uninstall the drivers, you can try using the Command Prompt to remove any existing drivers. Boot into Safe Mode and run the following command: 
         pnputil /enum-drivers
      This will list the drivers. You can then remove the old drivers using: 
         pnputil /delete-driver <Published Name> /uninstall /force
      Replace <Published Name> with the name of the driver you want to remove.
    3. Use Device Manager: If the GPU is not showing up in Device Manager, try scanning for hardware changes. Right-click on "Device Manager" and select "Scan for hardware changes".
    4. Run System File Checker: You can also run the System File Checker to repair any corrupted system files. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run: 
         sfc /scannow
    5. Check Windows Update: Ensure that your Windows is fully updated. Sometimes, driver updates are delivered through Windows Update.
    6. Manual Driver Installation: If the GPU is still not detected, download the latest drivers for the RTX-5090 directly from the NVIDIA website and install them manually.

    If none of these steps work, you might consider a clean installation of Windows, but ensure you back up your data first. This can sometimes resolve persistent driver issues that other methods cannot.
