I was trying to run a program in Ubuntu on Windows 10 but for some reason it just cannot find my NVIDA driver. I have tried install via the '$sudo apt-get nvidia-xxx' (tried different versions too), but it didn't seem to help.

When I do '$nvidia-smi' it returns 'NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.'.
When I do '$nvidia-settings' it returns 'ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run nvidia-settings --help for usage information.'

I have then followed some of the steps on the internet trying to do $lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D', the results are

> lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -2 5ba5:00:00.0 3D

> controller: Microsoft Corporation Basic Render Driver

>         Kernel driver in use: dxgkrnl e7a1:00:00.0 3D controller: Microsoft Corporation Basic Render Driver

>         Kernel driver in use: dxgkrnl

alternatively if I do a sudo lshw -C display
results would be:

 *-display:0

       description: 3D controller

       vendor: Microsoft Corporation

       physical id: 2

       width: 32 bits

       clock: 33MHz

       capabilities: bus_master cap_list

       configuration: driver=dxgkrnl latency=0

       resources: irq:0

  *-display:1

       capabilities: bus_master cap_list

       configuration: driver=dxgkrnl latency=0

Anyone has any idea how to resolve this? Thanks in advance

PS for reference, if i do a nivida-smi on powershell it would have:
