Basically you probably need to do a clean uninstall and retry again.

Thanks , It almost worked fine for me.  
Total delete of drivers using your post.  
Only issue is that now i can not open Geforce experience, it allways crash and tell me a message of error, is any way to only reinstall gforce manager, in order to keep alive mi CUDA 9.2 installation?

You should be able to (re) install a recent GeForce driver now, and get GeForce experience working, while retaining CUDA 9.2 functionality. Just make sure you choose a GeForce driver of 396.xx or higher.
