Geforce Experience not allowing update

[DJ Corus]

I have been trying to do the express installation for the newest Game Ready Driver (version 358.50). Everytime I try to install it, it starts the install process and then fails. I was going to try and insert a picture of what comes up on my screen but couldn't figure it out.

In the box that pops up that reads "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" it has an error message attached that reads "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Any help on how to fix this so I can continue to get my updates, would be much appriciated. Thank you!

Hi,

I also have issues sometimes with the GeForce Experience... Did you try downloading the drivers off the website ?

No I haven't tried that, I usually just use that. I've had my computer for about 3 years now, and I've never had an issue just getting the drivers thru the app.
But if I have to I will do that.
Thanks.

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.
(This is a direct download link so you don't grab the wrong version)

You'll download a compressed file called "[Guru3D.com]-DDU.zip"
Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe
This will extract more files to this folder.
Run Display Driver Uninstaller.exe
Choose Yes when it asks you to boot into SafeMode.
After you've rebooted into safe mode.
When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
