Something went wrong. Try restarting Nvidia Geforce experience

[Sam Ireland]

Hey, I recently updated to the most up to date version of Nvidia Geforce Experience, since doing so I have had a issue where every time I start it up I get the error "Something went wrong. Try restarting Nvidia Geforce Experience." Shown here --> https://i.gyazo.com/8d6d857b85149a83e7307a1cdef40b83.png If anyone knows how to fix this, please tell me as I use shadowplay almost daily and need it back ASAP

Also I have noticed that if I click the settings gear button before the popup appears, under my rig and features it says "Information not available" shown here --> https://i.gyazo.com/1e99cd5fb7219c2b26cef4e03cb394ea.png I don't know if this makes any difference.

The computer im having the issue with has the following specs:
Windows 10
Nvidia Geforce GTX 650
AMD FX 9590

If anyone needs more information about my specs feel free to ask.

Ahh I forgot to mention, I have tried to reinstall, I have also tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 8, Windows 7 and All versions of Windows Vistaand have of course tried restarting the PC and the program

Did you also try reinstalling your actual GPU drivers? After uninstalling first via Device Manager? Can you get an older version of Geforce Exp. to run? Also, you could maybe try reinstalling your Microsoft redist files I guess https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/kb/2977003 Strange tho..

So i uninstalled the drivers like you suggested, then reinstalled Geforce experience again, and still nothing new, still crashing with "Something went wrong. Try restarting Nvidia Geforce Experience." about 10 seconds after starting.

It could be that it isn't compatible with your GPU but that seems unlikely. Is the right graphics card name listed under display adapters? If so its basically a software issue and could be a runtime problem, so try re/installing the 2015 Microsoft c++ file maybe.

Well I tried installed C++ redist 2015 and 2013 and it still isn't working. I will try and restart later as that might make a difference

I have same problem, it's getting really annoying ...

Edit: I'm using GeForce GTX 920M if that matters, and yes i have its current driver installed. (I did it the first time without using Geforce Experience ;D)

For what its worth, Running the application "As administrator" solved the problem for me (Windows 10, GTX970)

Didn't work at all, I still have the same result. Now I have GeForce Experience 2.0 installed which doesn't cause any problem. So why should I upgrade it to 3.0 when the older version works better than this one? 😛
