Hi everyone,

Over the last week or so I've been getting the following message when trying to shut down windows:

NvGameStreamWindowsMessageHandler_00003238_0000332C

This program comes up on the "closing apps and shutting down" dialog when you leave programs open when attempting to shut down windows

I've never seen this before and I presume it's something to do with Nvidia. Any ideas on what it is and how to stop it not closing properly on shut down?

Thanks

Hi, see if disabling the GeForce Streaming services help. See this page helps:

Also, be sure to read the last paragraph (and see last 2 pictures). I only install the Driver and PhysX. Nothing else. Other people prefer to install Experience so they can record games, but I never use that.

I hope this helps.
