open nvidia firewall control panel or preferences page and disable it. Or enable windows firewall from windows control pnel then it asks for disabling nvidia one nd do so. After that either u can keep using windows fw or disable it too.

Remove that particular component only from Add/Remove programs->Nvidia drivers->Select your particular component only to uninstall.
