Correct installation of Nvidia drivers

Just a heads up to say if features or pages of the NVCP menu are missing etc. a 2nd clean install cannot hurt, I suggest you don’t uninstall inbetween or DDU unless your issue persists.

Proper method for a clean install

  • Run the installer
  • Untick GForce Experience (you can aways add it later by running the installer again)
  • Select Custom Installation
  • Tick the Perform a clean install box
  • Then Next
  • Let it run, once complete restart your PC and NVCP then input your favoured settings

I never had an issue to simple choose in Gef.Experiance the install-button. In worst case I download new installer from nvidia direct and install it, allways also direct with Gef.Exp. .

Only thing I do is choose manual install , because I not want the hd-audio drivers.

In case I want to do a “reset” I additional choose the mentioned checkbox “completely new install…”. Nothing else was ever necessary.

Gef.Exp. user should allways aware to disable game-auto-optimization in Gef.Exp. settings.

In case users not need features of Gef.Exp. they can also install it to get e.g. the update notifications / easy installer. All of the other features , also and in special the overlay, can be disabled.
