I was using geforce experience for a while, mainly shadowplay to record some stuff! And yesterday I upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1 ... and now when i double click on geforce experience it gives me this:

''Nvidia geforce experience has encountered an error and must close''

I tryed uninstalling and installing it - didnt work! Tryed starting it as administrator - didnt work!

 

Please help me, I really want to use shadowplay again :D

 

Thank you!

uninstall it, download Ccleaner go to registry tab

 

UNCHECK the boxes labeled "unused file extensions", "applications", "fonts"

 

Press scan for issues

 

press fix selected issues

 

TELL IT TO BACKUP THE CHANGES

 

Let it do its thing then reinstall GFE and try launching it again

 

 

If you fuck shit up in doing the above steps its your own damn fault I had nothing to do with it ive used CCleaners registry cleaner hundreds of times without issue.

Try deleting it then reinstalling it. That sometimes works for me when it acts wonky on my pc.
