I have always had issues with GeForce experience that no one has been able to solve. Every time there is an update for it, the update will consistently fail to install. Every time I have to reinstall geforce experience I have to remove all drivers from Nvidia and geforce experience itself or the installer will fail to install. Now I just upgraded my GPU to a 1080 ti and since then when I open GeForce Experience it says "Oops something went wrong! try restarting geforce experience. I have already tried multiple troubleshooting steps which are as follows:

1. Clean install of Geforce Experience along with all Nvidia drivers (This worked for the immediate time after but after I shut down my computer and rebooted it the problem persisted).
2. Turning all windows services by Nvidia off of manual and onto automatic.
3. Ending all tasks in task manager that were from Nvidia.

Can anyone help me find the problem here?

Also I tried reinstalling just the graphics driver and it said it could not find compatible hardware. This all started after changing my GPU.

I also don't install Experience. I always choose custom install only install the Driver and Physx. Here's my notes that I always use.

Note: Choose Custom Install and *only* install the Graphics Driver and the Physx thingy. Do NOT install the HD Audio or 3D stuff.

Note: After install, go the control panel and disable the desktop context menu stuff.

Note: After install, delete the C:\NVIDIA folder.
I guess for noobs its nice but most experienced users never install it [[ ????? opinion ] I don't all I install is the cards driver nothing else the rest of there ''gimmickware'' is basically un needed


look this over I guess its a end user thing on what you think is best

I guess you take the good with the bad with it ? I just don't see good and just something like you now see causes a issue
