so I'm making this video more or less for personal reasons but if you own an Nvidia graphics card then chances are you've had negative experiences with the GeForce experience program look we love the hardware we love the efficiency and with the exception of the current market thanks to crypto miners we love the prices but I think I speak for most here when I say that we hate the new software geforce experience is about as stable as my hand was when i painted this with the new 3.1 point whatever version of GFC you are not only handed mounds of instability within the app and ingame but you also have to do ridiculous things like sign into the program we have to sign into the software before we can use any of its features and I find that ridiculous just another way for a big company to take advantage of our data on top of that on a few occasions I can't even get past the login screen to access the tools I use on a daily basis I like you shadowplay because it has extremely low overhead and is very simple to use it's just a preference I've had since the beginning you may prefer some other software desktop recording is also a very nice feature but with these persistent updates that we oftentimes can't control or keep from happening like Windows 10 updates I found that a few of my PC's can't even open Nvidia share this is where shadowplay now resides my x2 nine-nine PC suffered this wall termite version 3 as did my recent rising 7 PC build I could login to the GeForce experience app without a problem but they want to go to turn on shadow play the share feature it would just stay off it would act like it was turning on and then shut right back off again and it wouldn't tell me why it was unable to open the share feature so I tried on installing completely with ddu starting from scratch changing file permissions none of that worked but now I have a solution that fellow green members can follow to rid themselves of the plague that has become the new GeForce experience program the fix uninstall gfv and install a much older version it's actually super simple the first thing you'll want to do is zoom you've already installed an updated and video drivers is navigate to your pcs control panel from here click uninstall a program' and scroll down to the plethora of Nvidia programs HD audio the graphics driver 3d vision it should all be here click on the GeForce experience program and on install don't worry this won't remove any vital graphics software you can play games completely fine everything will still run as it should you just won't be able to stream and use shadowplay within GFE until later because you won't have it until then at this point navigate to the link in this video's description is tied to a Google Drive download for a much older GFE version version 2.1 1 point 4.0 I've scanned it for viruses and found no issues but scan it again yourself just in case you can also find similar versions like this one elsewhere on the web just you don't do a typical Google search just be careful from where you download next click the executive omen Nvidia installer should open up where you can promptly install the older GeForce experience program isn't this impressive fresh air kind of like a throwback Thursday everything is very stable in this version of GFE for both my Rison and ex $2.99 PCs and shadowplay is just as functional and low-profile as ever if you're on any other Intel platform that semi-modern has well skylake cable 8 you should be fine as well perfect for my daily needs both on YouTube and in game I love shadow play I really do but we're not finished yet there are few more things we need to do to work around in videos clever auto update utility so when you open the GeForce experience for the first time the new older version that version 2.1 1 point 4.0 you're not going to be prompted to update but if you close it out and then open it again say after you turn your computer off and then back on it's probably going to force you to update to the latest GeForce experience it's going to think you're just way behind the times and it's going to give you no choice so we need to disable that within our services taskbar first though set things up in GFE the way you'd like range icons and either enable or disable desktop sharing and then hop on over to preferences disable these two checkboxes down at the bottom this is just a precaution but it's not going to prevent the thing from wanting to force an update then to be on the safe side navigate to the Start menu within windows and type services press enter in this window navigate to NVIDIA GeForce experience right-click over the program find the service status bar and click stop now attempt to reopen GFE if all is well the program shouldn't prompt an automatic update which is exactly what would have happened if we hadn't disabled this service from here on out you should be good to go if Nvidia somehow still force is the update then you can do one of two things you can either follow there are a few extra steps in the description I might add them if a few of you run into the issue where you are forced to update no matter what I'll put extra steps there that should help remedy that issue and then you can also worst case just uninstall the new update and then reinstall the old one just don't keep opening GFE just leave it closed and let shadowplay run in the background like it does when you first start up your PC and that should be enough right there I mean if you're only going to use shadowplay in GFE you don't even need to open G if you want you set things up the way you like which is by I told you to do that before we change the service status then that should be all you need to do just set your hotkeys and you'll never have to open GFE again if you have any questions or concerns or if the link is broken let me know and I'll throw up a few alternative links in the description again check those all for viruses though don't take my word for anything because programs are kind of spotty but for now just follow the steps of outline here and you shouldn't have a single problem with GeForce experience again if this video
