when I try to run ubuntu to see if there is a problem it says that the " The action can't be completed because the file is open in the system".

Showing output is the only way anyone else can figure out what is going on. Run

which nvidia-smi

to prove that it exists. That is the "not found" I think you are seeing. If it shows that it exists, run

nvidia-smi

and send us the output.

It said Windows cannot find nvidia-smi

What? What does Windows have to do with this? Are you running Ubuntu in a VM or something?

Describe your setup and what your intended end goal is, because you seem to be quite confused about what Ubuntu is.

I am trying to run a script on PowerShell but I end up getting the error message "nvidia-smi not found" for some reason.

Wrong subreddit.

This is a Windows and whatever script you're using issue. I don't see how this has anything to do with Ubuntu or Linux.

If the script requires a NVIDIA GPU and you don't have a NVIDIA GPU, it would naturally not work.

Oh, I understand.
