Video driver suddenly changed to llvmpipe upon startup

Question

I had shut down my pc a little while ago, and when I booted it up just now, the screen is all stretched and low resolution, I went into my settings and it says my graphics is llvmpipe, I didn't install it recently so I don't know what caused this

lspci -nn | grep VGA

shows that my GPU is being detected, and I also checked software & updates and looked at the additional drivers and it was picking up my GPU there too, and it said I was using the recommended driver

System Specs: GPU: Gtx 1650 CPU: Ryzen 5 3400G RAM: 16GB @ 3000mHz

Answer 1

Although i dont know why this happend, i managed to fix it by getting the driver file directly from nvidia and not using Software & updates or using sudo apt {driver name}
