I opened the NVIDIA Control Panel, navigated to "Help > System Information," and under "Driver Type," I can see the currently installed driver:
This gives me the installed driver version: 471.41.
How can I know if I have GeForce Game Ready Driver or NVIDIA Studio Driver?
I use Windows 11 24H2 Pro (even though the screenshot claims it's Windows 10: that's incorrect).
Contents of my Nvidia installation directory (using this PowerShell script):
