    Greetings, all.

    GFE recently updated itself and now is says that all of my games 'cannot be optimized'.

    I have removed and re-installed GFE, but have the same result.

    It's GFE 1.8.1.0

    Any ideas?

    I don't like GeForce Experience. It's a pain in the butt. Sometimes it's helpful, but most of the time it's an annoyance.

    try launching the game play a couple of minutes then go back and try to optimize. I had to do that for a few games...especially if I haven't played them in a while.

    Thanks for that tip. I spent a few minutes in Bioshock and all the games 'came back'.
