I updated my AMD Ryzen video card, and Davinci won't load. It now finds NVIDIA drivers, and I cannot remove them. Any advice?

I've been using Davinci on this machine for over a year and a half and never had a problem. However, I cannot get past this issue after updating my AMD drivers.

I have no idea where the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Laptop GPU came from, as it has never shown up before.

I've tried reinstalling the old drivers to no avail. I've searched my machine for anything Intel, and I'm at a loss. Any help would be appreciated. I use Davinci almost daily for edits, and this issue is costing me money.

I ran a DDS program in safe mode to clean it, but it still doesn't work.

I've included my log file if that helps.

AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 4.00 GHz
32.0 GB (31.2 GB usable)

You have an ASUS TUF Gaming A17 laptop with a Ryzen 9 processor.
This processor has an integrated Radeon 780M iGPU - which is not suitable for video editing.
However, your laptop also has an Nvidia RTX 4050 (6GB) graphics card - which should be ok for HD video editing.
So my advice would be to install the correct NVIDIA drivers because yours are outdated (555.97):

then DaVinci should work correctly again.

I never knew I had NVIDIA drivers on my machine. I thought it all went through AMD.

But, I did what you said and it worked. Thank you so much!
