Geforce Experience or not?

I wanted to try the GeForce Experience but when I installed it MSFS shows up on the list but first it said “can’t retrieve settings, try again later” and then it says “can’t optimize game”. I uninstalled the latest driver and reinstalled and no change. A Google search shows I am not the only one having this issue and many ways to try and fix the issue are listed but I have tried everything I could find with no luck. Anybody else here have the same problem and what did you do to actually resolve it? TIA.
