I'm new here and I hope this is the right subforum for this, but Nvidia's Geforce Experience won't install. This is v3.3.0.95. After I run the .exe, the launcher with the green progress bar comes up, the progress bar completes, and then the launcher just disappears and nothing else happens. No error message or anything.

I had previously tried (erroneously) to install an older version of GFE, which didn't work, and that's when this started happening. GFE doesn't show up in the list of programs to uninstall though, so I'm not sure how to fix this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you have graphics or driver issues, one of the most common fixes is a clean uninstall and removal of your graphics drivers.

To uninstall your drivers, first download and run Display Driver Uninstaller, and follow it's recommendations of booting into safe mode and ect.

Right click and choose extract.
Go into the folder and run the DDU v##.##.exe

When DDU comes up, if it hasn't selected your GPU manufacturer (Nvidia/AMD/Intel) then choose it from the drop down list
Press the Clean and Restart option
If a window comes up asking to disable the Windows automatic installation of display drivers click yes.

After (or before removing the old drivers, just put the new ones on the desktop or somewhere handy) rebooting back into Windows, manually download the latest drivers from Nvidia or AMD, don't use auto detect, choose you GPU model and OS from the drop down lists.
