I noticed the problem at first when installing nvidia drivers from the nvidia website which would uninstall my old driver then fail to install the new driver and left the old driver uninstalled which lead me to use windows update to install my old driver. When trying to install drivers for an nvidia gpu either for the first time or to update drivers that are already on the computer if the installation of the drivers should fail the user is met with the nvidia installer failed screen that depicts which of the components included in the driver package failed to be installed and provides the option to close the installer.

Kill all nvidia processes and delete the related files. But make sure you select custom and also tick perform a clean installation hopefully it will resolve nvidia installer failed issue.
Restart windows and install the nvidia drivers now.
