Torch is not able to use GPU error - Windows - Nivida GeForce GTX 1070

[mr-stark]

I am using this on windows and the GPU I have is Nivida GeForce GTX 1070. I am using this on a laptop if that matters.

Here is the error I get

Already up to date.
venv "C:\Users\User\stable-diffusion-webui\venv\Scripts\Python.exe"

Press any key to continue . . .

From researching this issue it seems most people don’t have a Nivida gpu when encountering this issue. I do so why am I getting it?

Here is what my webui-user.bat file looks like
@echo off

set PYTHON="C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe"
set GIT=
set VENV_DIR=
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=
git pull
call webui.bat

I have tried adding both of these lines

set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers --opt-sdp-no-mem-attention --listen --enable-insecure-extension-access

to that file but that did nothing. I got that code off this post
https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/torch-cant-use-gpu-but-it-could-before/170940

I have tried to look in some of the python files to see what is happening but it seems I don’t have the right application to read them as it opens as this giant garbled mess.

Other things I have tried are:
I have uninstalled python and git and deleted all of the stable diffiusion files twice and gone through the installation process again.
I have deleted the venv folder a bunch of times
At one point my pip was out of data but I figured out how to update that.
My graphics card drivers say they are up to date
I used to not have the python file line in the bat file but added it after watching some video but that didn't do anything it seems.

Note - I have added the skip torch cuda test line so from mu understanding it is only using my CPU. It is taking absolutely AGES to generate very simple images so I’m hoping that fixing that old error will resolve this issue.

Can someone please help?
Also I have next to zero experience with all of this so please be explicit for how to implement any suggestions.
