so today we're going to take a look at how you can decapitate driver install and I know I can't believe it's come to this but anyway welcome back to tech city this is Brad coming to you guys today with the tutorial on how to decaf I your Nvidia driver install now I should never have to be doing this tutorial but as times have it it seems that even your graphics card drivers aren't immune to all that telemetry and data mining crap this seems to be making its way into everything on the PC nowadays so we're going to split this tutorial into two different sections the first half will be doing just a basic clean driver install and then the second half will be getting back a clean version of shadowplay for those guys who want or need to use shadowplay also your mileage may vary with this tutorial I've tried it on two different computers so far and it's worked flawlessly so if you do come into problems after using this tutorial just be prepared to reverse what I did in this tutorial anyway let's get on with the first part and involves downloading your graphics card driver the latest one and also I'll put the links in description below for both of these downloads now the first thing you're going to want to do is just unpack your drivers and then cancel the install straight away because we're going to be going into the installation folder which is on C Drive slash Nvidia going deep into that folder until we get to the folder called telemetry and then I want you to delete the files in that folder and then continue on with a clean install so now if you've got your previous install done I want you to completely uninstall that or just perform a clean install and get rid of all the previous drivers on your computer and now what you want to do here is just install the graphics card only the graphs card driver that'll be the one that's grayed out at the top everything else you don't need to install unless you need those features so if you need 3d then install that if you need HDMI audio and install the HDMI audio driver so now's the part to disable the telemetry we want to go to the bottom left corner here and type in task scheduler and then you want to left-click on that open that up once you're in here you can left-click on task scheduler library and then there should be a heap of things that pop up here you want to focus on env TMP Mon env TMP envy TMP rep on logon now what these will do is these are the telemetry files so we just right click on them and go to disable and then go to the next one disable that and then disable the last one so these three should be disabled once you've done that we're ready for the next step now for this next part you can do this two different ways you can go into MS config and disable these services from here or you can type in the left corner here the bottom left corner services.msc and once you're in here this should bring up all the services that are on your computer that get loaded up and then what we want to go to is Nvidia streaming network service and then you right click on that and you go to properties and then you click on stop and then you can click on disable and once you've disabled that you can go down to in video streamer service just below that and do the same thing properties stop and then disabled but if you're using a shield device then you may wish to ignore this part but if you're not using a shield device then get rid of those services now we're on to the second part so after you've done that you can restart your machine and then we're going to install the GeForce experienced version 2 that's if you need or want shadowplay now the next part here I have to give credit to a person on reddit called underwear please so for this part we go to the bottom left-hand corner and type in regedit now once you guys to open this up and once we're inside here we can go over to H key local machine and expand that and then go down to software expand that and then go to a folder called Nvidia Corporation and then go expand global and then down to gf experience and this is the GeForce experience folder now there should be a folder called update if there isn't and I want you to also to close the GeForce experience down if you've got it open make sure it's closed even if you've installed version 2 I want you to then make this key so I'll just actually do a for you here I'll delete the one I got remake it so make new make new key and call it update with a capital u and now once we're inside here we want to right click on update and we want to go to permissions so now once we're inside permissions you will then have to go left click on advanced and this can get a little bit tricky so just bear with me here so once you're inside here you should see your username if you're the administrator of the computer you can see there the second one down I'm administrator Thunder Adamas but if you do have a username then you that's separate from the administrator then you will have to left click on add and manually add that username in and then after you've added that username in you will then want to go and left click on disable inheritance and don't click on the first one but you want to click on the second one there remove all inherited permissions from this object so let's click on that click OK and then click apply so make sure that's been applied and then once you're back in the folder you go back to the update folder and then go back and make sure there are no files in that registry key so you should see update here as you can see with mine there is no keys in there but if there are I want you to delete anything in that folder and then after that all you have to do is restart your computer and you will now have a crapless install of the NVIDIA GeForce experience so there we have a geyser crapless install of the Nvidia driver set not only did we get rid of the telemetry but we also made the GeForce experience much better by having it instantly recall without popping out a message and also having no performance drop by just having the option enabled and also you don't have to log in to the GeForce experience anymore to use it so that's a pretty cool thing and let me know in the comment section below guys what do you think of this install I thought it's a lot better I can actually also record YouTube and fullscreen again I guess that was something that they nerfed in the 3.0 driver said we'd love to hear your thoughts and opinions in the comment section as always and don't forget to hit that like
