    Nice, a blue screen while installing the driver from geforce experience, looking good.
    After restarting everything is working correctly and the driver is installed though.

    TechPowerUp NVCleanstall 1.7.0 Released with Advanced Driver Support Modding Capabilities techpowerup.com | Yesterday

    TechPowerUp today released the latest version of NVCleanstall, our lightweight utility that lets you heavily customize your NVIDIA GeForce software installation, letting you skip many more components that NVIDIA's installer brings. Version 1.7.0 introduces the ability to mod the drivers to add support for additional graphics devices. This should come particularly handy when trying to install the latest drivers on notebooks without official support. NVCleanstall can now tell if its being run on a notebook (instead of a desktop), and suggest the most appropriate driver. You may choose to display all available driver versions, overriding your hardware, for example to create deployment packages for other machines. An experimental option to disable driver telemetry was also added. Grab NVCleanstall from the link below.

    "Provides optimal support for Horizon Zero Dawn"

    Game suffers from color corruption with this driver.

    Seems about right.

    I haven't seen any issues. I don't think I've seen any issues with a driver since one specific version a couple years ago or so...

    I installed the system on an empty (clean) hard disk, same like all of the software.
    From what I see after a few hours I can say that the problem is the latest update of the steam client.
    Sorry for confusion.

    If I don't join the "participation beta test" steam will not show me a list of friends and the library window will stop displaying content after a few seconds.
    if you play ranked matches in cs: go then MSI afterburner will not work without adding a startup command. However, if we add this startup command, then the trust factor drops.

    GJ VALVE... :)

    btw...

    Mr.Fox i have sent you a friends request @steam. [:

    Hey guys, anybody else experiencing issues with their Shadowplay? My Game recordings are playing at the twice the normal speed and the sounds are completely distorted. Ever since I installed this update, my NVIDIA GeForce has gone haywire.

    I use the windows game bar feature to do this not shadowplay, I can go back and re-enable the nvidia overlay and try it though. Usually the first thing I do when I install a new nvidia driver (i always do the clean install option) is disable the overlay in GFE.

    EDIT: It worked fine, captured a few minutes of Elite Dangerous. Played back at normal speed nice and smooth.

    I will definitely try to use the Windows Game Bar.. although I have already gotten accustomed with Shadowplay.... I did try uninstalling and then reinstalling both Geforce Experience and the Graphics Driver, but to no avail.

    It's pretty simple, windows+alt+R starts and stops capture. I'm pretty sure it's always running unless you removed it.

    Weird that shadowplay is broken, I've never had an issue with it. I just turn it off because I got tired of multiple things popping up overlay notices. At one point all I think 4 of them fired, lol. Steam, Uplay, Windows and nVidia.

    understood, thank you. Although some people did inform me that the Windows Recorder has a certain limit, some saying it is only 15 minutes, others saying it could record up to 30 mins. I guess I would just have to expreriment on it.

    I will try to do a Windows Update and complete clean installation of both the driver and Geforce Experience... as per advice of Nvidia Live chat reps... hopefully it works..

    They should really get themselves sorted out over there with their drivers... It ends up breaking a lot of stuff then fixing them.

    And that's yet another reason to stay put on LTSC with all the updates disabled.
