Razer Blade Pro 2020 can't update Nvidia drivers

Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 4k UHD Touch - BIOS 1.06 - Windows 10 20H2 Build 19042.685 Issue persists on latest NVIDIA Drivers. Reverting drivers does not fix it. I have to plug external monitor to switch back to Optimus. Dedicated GPU mode just gives me black screen

Razer Blade Pro 2020 can't update Nvidia drivers

okay so I have a theory about this. Latest NVIDIA drivers update the GPU VBIOS and the new GPU VBIOS is incompatible with the Razer BIOS. Therefore reverting back to old drivers does not downgrade it (since BIOS updates are usually only one-way - upgrade) If someone still has not updated their system and it's working fine, can they dump the BIOS through GPU-Z or some other util and share it here? I wanna take it for a spin

4K2HDWhen you say "it doesnt work" what do you mean? You presume people only have black screen on wake from sleep. This isn't the case for everyone. Me and some others are having black screen on boot.

4K2HDI have been able to boot into GPU mode without any problems, again, I could've just gotten lucky but then again, computers are not magical are they? I'm betting on the horse that says you got lucky. I just tried installing the latest NVIDIA Drivers, disabled hibernation (powercfg.exe /hibernate off), then went into settings and where it says "Choose what closing the LID does", I changed it to "do nothing". So the laptop shouldn't go to sleep ever or hibernate. It worked fine on Optimus as expected. When set to Dedicated GPU, it had output through the BIOS welcome screen and then even the HDMI output went blank on Windows Login Screen. 4K2HDRazer should offer FREE replacements to all of us and subsequently, STOP selling this laptop unit this issue is resolved. Seconded. This was not a cheap laptop. I've invested so much time and even upgraded the RAM and SSD. I'd hate to have to return this thing but it's not much useful the way it is right now. As soon as things start working

> Have you guys tried updating your bios to 1.05 Look at my signature, I'm on BIOS v1.06 :) > I haven't had those black screen issues for over a few months now Are you using it on 60hz or 120hz? It works on 60hz but many of us paid extra for that 120hz. Regardless, the issue exists, and it's on Razer, not you, I'm awaiting their fix

Black Screen when switching to dedicated GPU. Razer blade 15 base 2021

For context, this issue has also existed with Razer Blade 2020 and 2019 models, see /razer-blade-pro-2020-cant-update-nvidia-drivers.58932/ for example

Razer Blade Pro 2020 can't update Nvidia drivers

Do we have anyone in here who got a Razer Blade Pro 2020 but never formatted the SSD and still has the original recovery partition? It would help all of us if that person could create a backup of that SSD recovery partition and upload it somewhere. I'm willing to pay. One thing I'm interested in trying is what if we get back that original recovery partition and start a recovery, it'll reset our state of Windows to when we first got the laptops. It's possible doing so will fix this. If it works for me just one more time, I will not upgrade Windows or NVIDIA Drivers and happily spend my forever after on something that works.

For transparency, the whole "PM me and we'll figure it out" has ended in RMA for me so far. They said the unit is defective and needs to be checked by a razer technician. Even tho this same thing happened last year and was fixed by a BIOS update.

It's been more time since I bought the laptop that I was not able to use 4k 120hz than I was able to use it. Ended up RMA-ing the laptop, fingers crossed I'll get a fixed replacement

> It’s a software issue. Changing it for the same laptop won’t do anything. If I do a factory reset with old drivers it works fine. Let us know though if it changes For you. It may be, not for me. I have even reflashed it with the Razer Recovery image I got from support, so even with the BIOS, the driver stack and Windows being what they were at purchase time, it didn't work for me.

I got a new Razer Blade 17 Pro from RMA, and previously even downgrading NVIDIA driver wasn't working for me. Here's the list of pre-installed Software and their versions, hopefully it helps someone. The Windows version is 2004, OS Build 19041.208

For the people that have this working, can they please share their exact windows version? Run "winver" in Run Command, and see that build number. Thanks!

Anecdotal evidence but here's what I've found so far: You get black screens and something irreversibly breaks in your laptop if you update your nvidia drivers while in the optimus (non-dedicated) mode. So once you screw it, no way known to me can fix it. I'm on the latest version of the drivers without an issue, I got this laptop from RMA, previous laptop was having black screen issues. Maybe something Razer should tell new owners this so they don't screw it up. Updated from 443.45 to 472.12
