Hello @FlyingGunny

Nvida Geforce Experience app? If I uninstall the app, do I then need to manually reinstall the drivers?

42

No, you can just remove the app. The drivers are separate.

I have had the same issue with the Nvidia app in the past, but that should be solved now. I run it without issues, but worth trying!

43

I’ll try that next, would make sense - I recently only updated the app and issues started around then.

44

I’ve said it many times before - I think even to you - that the NVIDIA app is garbage. That’s one. Two - now you need to uninstall the driver using DDU in Windows Safe Mode.

Run DDU briefly in normal mode and go to options. Then take a screenshot of the settings window and attach it in your reply.

I’ll reply a few minutes after you post it.
Make sure to tag me when you post it, so I get notified.

I’ve opened 2020 3 times since Nvidia App uninstall. No problems. Haven’t touched the drivers.

That’s what I’ll try first before uninstalling the GPU driver.

I might mention, my driver is 32.0.15.7688

Translation edit:

Hi friend, I was receiving this CTD whenever I used a certain livery on Fenix, after I deleted it, the problem ended. Try it there.

Oi amigo, eu estava recebendo esse CTD sempre que usava uma determinada livery no Fenix, depois que deletei ela, acabou o problema. Tente aí.

It’s the last one I need to to try, fully uninstall driver using DDU. I’ve never done this before which makes me nervous, not remotely tech savvy.

any repercussions if I do this wrong?

55

No not really.
Follow the steps in TenPatrols post here: NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready Driver 581.15 Discussion - #6 by TenPatrol

But use the current driver, not the older one mentioned.
