Steps:

1. Download the latest NVIDIA driver
   Visit the official NVIDIA driver download page and download the appropriate driver for your system.
2. Run the installer
   Launch the downloaded '.exe' file.
3. Select Custom (Advanced) Installation

4. Enable Clean Installation
   Check Perform a clean installation to fully reset driver settings.
5. Complete the installation and restart

If you've recently updated your NVIDIA driver, changed your GPU, or are noticing unusual viewport behavior, performing a clean installation may help restore expected performance and stability.
