Hey guys,

So I've been having this problem with Geforce experience. It refuses to run for me, it used to work in the past but a few weeks ago it refuses to run. Shows in the task bar but doesn't respond to the endless clicks that I try to get it to run.
I tried the following:
1) uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version, nothing it doesn't run.
2) running as administrator, still doesn't run.
3) clearing all my nvidia drivers in safe mode and reinstalling, no luck still.

I'm just very curious what happens when I double click on it, I can't see any response from it what so ever. Very weird

Your answers are well appreciated!

Edit: is it possible that a program is blocking it from running?

Search event viewer in the start menu. Open it, and click on applications. You should be able to see events listed by time. You may be able to find an event id # with geforce.

Also, try ending those processes, then starting the application.

You could also try downloading/installing from the UK site.

Are any nvidia prosesses running when you look at task manager? Also check event viewer. You may be able to see why it's failing.

Also, it will only find and optimize about 10% of your games. The optimiztion isn't even accurate sometimes. My civ 5 resolution always gets set much lower, even though it lists my optimal resolution at 1920x1080.

Im running windows 7 Enterprise and my Anti-virus is Microsoft Forefront Endpoint protection along with Yet another cleaner (YAC) which is a male-ware as far as I know.

Every time this happens to me, I open task manager, go to processes, find Nvidia Geforce Experience Backend, and shut that down. then i reopen geforce experience and it works.

I also have the same problem and I fixed this issue by temporarily disabling all my anti viruses web Shields/protection that can in some cases allow the update to work. I use AVAST antivirus, its a good program but can cause issues with certain operating systems IE Internet connectivity, program installs and updates. Just a thought may or may not help. Oh, and this was for the most recent 2.0.1 update, and the Driver 337.88

I was finally able to get the NVIDIA GeForce Experience to work after trying everything under the sun. I first went to Programs & Features and uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce Experience ONLY. Then I downloaded and installed a MUCH older version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience (v1.7.1) from here:

http://forums.videocardz.com/topic/614-nvidia-geforce-experience-1710/

After it installed I launched it and it opened without issue but I was still not able to load ShadowPlay. I then let GFE update itself to the most recent version. After that I was able to flip on the ShadowPlay button which installed and updated the latest version. Now everything is working fine.

I fixed the problem by going to task manager, applications, right click on NVIDEA GeForceExperience and select maximize (bring to front does not work). Once it is visable you can use it normally, but if you minimzie it or try to resize it you will have to go back to task manager and maximize it again to see it.

THIS IS A SERIOUS BUG AND I RECOMMEND NOT USING THIS APPLICATION UNTIL NVIDEA FIXES IT.

Since the bug does not effect everyone and some people have dramatically odd experiences, the problem might be an uninitialized pointer.

Ok so I am trying to download GeForce Experience so that I can use ShadowPlay. When I click on it is says, "Could not start GeForce Experience. Try again." What does this mean and what can I do to fix it? I have and EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Classified graphics card so it should work right?

Try going to the NVIDIA web site selecting and downloading the latest driver. Run and select Custom Install. Tick the box for "Clean Install". Worked for me.

The event log shows:- The description for Event ID 2001 from source NvStreamSvc cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

NvStreamSvc
Failed continue stopping. [0]

This implies that a piece of the program is missing, so a reinstall is indicated.

I try that, but backend pops back up, any suggestions? I've completely uninstalled, then re-installed, still nothing. I use the 'Update driver' way and still nothing.

most people don't need geforce experience. unless you are using shadowplay or the streaming gamebox thing your best bet is to uninstall the drivers then reinstall them without the extra system overhead of the geforce experience. mine runs terrible with the experience and great without it( you can optimize your own games its not hard)

This is the problem of anti-virus/Firewall. Try configuring them.
Even if you uninstall the anti-virus completely, some kernel or core files still remain that creates this problem. Try the Uninstaller tool of corresponding anti-virus (like Norton removal tool for Norton AV).
