RE: Black screen at VM Console when installing Nvidia drivers to passthrough GPU
@olivierlambert I removed all traces of vgpu packages in xcp-ng and the drivers associated with them in my Windows server 2022 VM. I then installed the latest available driver release for the L40 GPU. The driver installed successfully and I can see it in Device Manager. But I do not see it in task manager. Is this normal for passthrough in Windows?

Black screen at VM Console when installing Nvidia drivers to passthrough GPU
I’m getting a black screen at the VM Console when installing Nvidia drivers via my passthrough GPU (Nvidia L40). I’ve tried all different versions of Complete vGPU X package for XenServer 8 downloaded from https://ui.licensing.nvidia.com/software. Each one results in this black screen. I am at a loss now, I do not have any more ideas of what I can do to fix this. These packages all support my OS, my version of xcp-ng and my GPU. Has anyone experienced this before that might be able to help me figure this out?
Host: xcp-ng 8.3

Successfully passed through:
However as soon as it installed the Nvidia driver the Xen Orchestra goes to a black screen and never recovers. I’ve had to use RDP to uninstall the driver for troubleshooting.
