You installed the wrong package.
The SD-WebUI package you installed is specifically for use with DirectML.
You need to install the other SD-WebUI that has "Nvidia" tagged on it in green.
This package is really old and has not received updates unless you switch to "Branches" and install the "dev" branch during package installation setup.
If you are looking to use new features, capabilities, or model types... would recommend using reForge or Forge Classic Neo instead.
