I found that importing nvdrsdb0.bin does restore global settings, but nvdrsdb1.bin which is meant for program specific settings does not do anything.

For example I have certain games I just wanted to set to use my dGPU instead of my iGPU automatically and that's pretty much the only configuration I want saved. When I import nvdrsdb1.bin none of the games I set to use the dGPU manually apply.

In that case does importing nvdrsdb0.bin only work and you have to use nvidia inspector to import program specific settings?

Additionally what does "Export all driver profiles" do? Does it work to import global and program specific settings like a whole package or does it do something else?

Is there no way to specifically import global settings from nvidia inspector, or does "Export all customized profiles" import global settings along with program specific settings?

did you ask on the Nvidia forums as this feels like something they would know

did you look in the wiki? https://stepmodifications.org/wiki/Guide:NVIDIA_Inspector
there is a forum post attached to guide but it seems to be about guide, not actual program, and not very active anymore.

website might help - https://www.nvidiainspector.com/ - it has a contact us form, so could ask.

there is also a version on github , so its hard to say who you ask - https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

Thanks, I'll try the nvidia sites instead, I more so have questions about specifics so I'll move my post there.
