Even after DDU, I can't install nvidia gtx 980 driver

It's a MSI Gaming GTX 980. I was at 432(?), and tried to update to 441.87.
It would check compatibility, then straight to failed to install.
I first tried to uninstall driver in regular windows 10, it kind of did the same thing where it just fails immediately.

So I used DDU in safe mode, and back in regular mode I have same problem while trying to install driver.
Now I'm stuck in this low-res mode.

Tu to manually install the driver with device manager, and if it give an error, send me a picture of the error code. Also send me the ddu log.

Oh ok, I just answer you this morning before reading here.
Hope everything is ok now. There wasn't anything in the DDU log. I think you sent the wrong one. Anyway you fix it now.
