NVIDIA GeForce Experience problem

I uninstalled the Nvidia BF4 beta driver and ran Driver Sweeper, I then installed the latest Nvidia not beta driver. This obviously removed Geforce Experience and I'm having problems with it 'checking for updates' and optimizing games.

 

It has been stuck on this screen for a while, please help :)

I think this is because you installed the driver and everything manually, GE seems to have issues when it's not in control  :P

 

My advice would be to uninstall all your drivers again and install GE and let it do the install itself.

When you install the driver are you installing it under " perform clean installation?" I've had issues installing and re-installing after beta drivers.

Yeah I did select perform clean installation because I thought it would remove the old driver completely with no trace and Isn't it supposed to be better when rolling back drivers, in the future should I not select that?

No, I always select that every time. Actually, I go into device manager and remove the drivers first - then download from nvidia and install with a clean installation. Normally I don't have any issues.

I uninstalled the drivers but Windows automatically installed the driver and my GeForce experience is still messed up...

I think I may have to uninstall the driver and boot into safe mode and run Geforce experience

I hate it when windows installs things without my say so. Assuming you are using 7 or 8, open up update, click 'change settings' on the left and disable automatic updates, I usually set it to download and ask me first whichever you like.

 

Delete everything including GE and reinstall it and it will detect the driver it needs and install it again without windows putting its greasy nose in. There should also be a folder on your C drive called NVIDIA where the driver gets unzipped to. Get rid of that too just to be sure.
