Does not run in Windows 11 Safe mode

[SkullKill]

when trying to run Nvidia Profile Inspector in Windows 11 Safe mode, i get the error

The type initializer for 'nspector.Common.DrsServiceLocator' threw an exception.

  at nspector.frmDrvSettings.ctor(Boolean showCsnOnly.
Boolean skipScan)
  at nspector.Program.Main(String[] args)

works fine in normal Windows boot.

Use case: issue preventing boot into normal windows boot because of a settings issue/problem in Nvidia Control Panel

in my case, windows would freeze after a fresh install of the Nvidia driver, until the "Power management mode" is changed to "Prefer maximum performance". and Nvidia Control Panel does not work in safe mode. was hoping to do it via Nvidia Profile Inspector in safe mode.

I doubt it can work if no dGPU drivers gets loaded (since you are in safe mode many parts of the OS are not loaded/initialized)

Try cmd to start the service(s) it's looking for and hopefully they will load even though the nvidia display driver isn't being used.

That's pretty odd GPU behavior but you could technically just manually edit the global profile instead of using profile inspector. That or have someone export a global profile with settings you need and paste it over the current one.
