Hello Forum,

 

As you read, ShadowPlay doesn't turn on. I even restarted my desktop but after I updated the driver yesterday to the latest one (the GTA V one), it says activating but then doesn't turn on. I'd like you people to help me since I use it to record my gameplay.

 

Thanks! :)

Role back your drivers and re-install the ones before? There could be an error with the new drivers.

 

I remember ages ago that one of the drivers did the same kinda thing. They fixed it later though.

Re-install the latest driver and stop the Nvidia capture server in taskmanager under the tab processes

This ^ If re-install does not work then, restart your PC?! 0_O

How do I roll back? BTW, how do I get my desktop specs under my posts like you have?

To get specs underneath go to the top right corner select your name > My Profile > Edit My Profile > Signature 

 

For the roll back, what graphics card do you have? (It will be easier for me to give you a download link)

 

EDIT

 

It should be this one: http://www.geforce.co.uk/drivers/results/83112

Just download and install that.
