Fine...what is "RDC"?

I ran nvidia-smi under Admin Powershell and it shows 576.02
RDC stands for Remote Desktop Connection, if you have another PC on your home network you can connect to the one that needs to do the driver update and do the update that way.
You need to allow the connection from another PC by enabling this in settings.
Then start the Remote Desktop Connection Application from the other PC and connect to the PC that needs to do the update.
You can then install the driver without getting stuck with the black screen. 😉
Once it completes the driver installation, you can disconnect and sign in again locally.

RDC stands for Remote Desktop Connection
I always disable RDC for system security, so I won't do that. That's been a part of my standard system tweaks for a very long time. That's why I was unaware of what you meant by it at first.

However I did re-download, re-ran the installer, and did a clean install of the drivers (remove all old and install) and it completed with zero errors.

Good for you!
Anyway,
RDC can be easily disabled again after you use it locally. I don't keep it enabled either. It is just a workaround to avoid the Black Screen during the driver install. 😉
I had already tried the clean install too, but it still failed for me, so I used RDC. 🤷‍♂️

Holy scary black screen, Batman. I was worried that I would have to clean boot and roll back my driver, but it went in the first time. It just left me with a black screen until I forced a reboot after about five minutes. When the PC came back, the new drivers were all installed and working. Scared the hell out of me.

C'mon Nvidia, get it together.

C'mon Nvidia, get it together.
To work around the problem, I installed the driver while connected with RDC from another PC on my home network.
When the install was complete, I disconnected and sign in again locally.
I only had the black screen problem with machines that are on Canary Build 27823. 🤷‍♂️
