NVIDIA control panel unaccessible

Hello I've been looking through some old threads and have seen similar problems as to the one I am having, however they mostly are trying to install a new driver or another problem is holding them up. I am just trying to explore the NVIDIA control panel as I am learning more and more about computers, but have hit a road block with the NVIDIA control panel. When I try to access it this is the error message that shows up:

Problem signature:
Problem Event Name: BEX
Application Name: nvcplui.exe
Application Version: 2.2.275.0
Application Timestamp: 49b10fad
Fault Module Name: StackHash_f923
Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0

These are the specs (I believe still learning things) of the display (1st pic)
I also looked at the drivers and the only one that had NVIDIA associated with it was turned off, not sure if that has to do with it or if I even have the correct driver(s) installed(2nd pic)

Here are the programs I have installed on this computer(give or take a few that you can't see at the top like chrome and personal programs) and its summary (3&4)

I've learned a lot from reading these forums in the past few months and hope to continue learning much more as to what this error means and how to fix it. Thank you for your time

All I do to get the control panel is Start and type in Nvidia and at the top is control panel. You can also right click on Desktop and there is a Nvidia Control Panel there.
Is this a laptop?

If I understand you correctly, using the Start you can access the Nvidia Control Panel but you can't using Right click on desktop. Is that correct.
This may help.

Are you seeing this.

Did you read through this. Post # 4

I'm presuming you ticked enabled.

C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Control Panel Client\nvcplui.exe
This is where mine are located.
Go to Windows Explorer and Search nvcplui.exe and see what you find and where.
