Note: After 20 years of dedicated service, the classic NVIDIA Control Panel is officially retiring for Game Ready and Studio Drivers. For NVIDIA RTX PRO users, the NVIDIA Control Panel will continue to be supported until we have migrated professional features to the NVIDIA app.
Existing installs of the NVIDIA Control Panel will remain on users’ systems, unless they perform a clean installation, and users who still need the NVIDIA Control Panel can continue to download it from the Microsoft Store, but we won’t be adding features, fixes, or other changes.
The NVIDIA app contains all of the modern functionality of the NVIDIA Control Panel available for GeForce RTX GPUs, and much more, while running faster and more efficiently.

I don't need to learn how to custom install. I've been modifying drivers for decades. I could uninstall the Nvidia App and nearly get where you are. However quite a few games I have run much better with custom settings for DLSS. Then there is also the shaders which can take up several GB. I am not sure of the utility of saving a few hundred MBs and risk less stability. I've no idea what hardware you're running so, perhaps for you, stripping it down makes sense.
