@@worstcommentever2805 A couple of decades ago (yeah, I know, tell us about it Grandpa!) nVidia included some kind of antimalware-type stuff in one of their driver package.

There was some tool I had to download to get rid of it; after that I did the stripped-down video drivers ONLY for years after on nVidia products to avoid accidentally installing it. Great video cards/chipsets, but ouch!

I can’t thank you enough for posting this. The GeForce experience app stopped working in that it kept erroring out when trying to install the latest drivers.

Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺

Thank you so much for sharing this information! I always hated the geforce software as it felt much more of an advertisement for the new games than professional driver update software. Drivers being massive and never mention of what the actual benefit was either, lacking technical details for how it improved, rather just advertising how it was released for a new game or improved a recently new games performance(good for kids to understand, not the technically minded).

Nice! I've seen less bloat at a buffet. This is why most systems don't work right (at least not for long). I much prefer my system to do what I tell it right then vs. the system telling me first, I wanna update. Then, I wanna sell your data. And then, what do you want?!

@@mcan-piano4718 When you update the drivers, all that happens is the new information is added to the existing driver. Like adding support for a new game. If for some reason the old driver had corrupted files, these remain and can still cause problems. A clean install removes the old driver completely, also removing possibly corrupted files too. It then installs a new or "clean" version of the driver with the new updates include. It can take a few extra minutes but eliminates problems. You can open GeForce and reinstall your drivers opting for a clean install. If your game has been running poorly this can correct those problems. That's why I always do it clean. It can help improve framerate in your games too.

You'll lose supported optimization for certain games, shadow play (screen recording), shield streaming (playing your pc games to your other devices). These processes in idle and background doesn't even use high processing and memory. This video is total bs and definitely just for clickbait.

Thank you brother, i was getting annoyed because of those nvidia bloatware processes. Very helpful!

This is Michael. Thank you for this thorough and really Useful information. I've used DDU for a long time , And did not install G force experience when I installed driver's, but I think this method is actually better

Reminder that if you do a clean install you need to download nvidia control panel seperately.

I literally just clean installed the latest driver the other day... Time to do it the right way I guess

Extraordinary video! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Chris, I have learned alot from your channel... I'm no longer needed to upgrade my computer again

Thank you so much for this video, this one is really useful! But I've few questions on this. Like if I use this NVCleaninstall, does it restrict all my Nvidia control panel settings - like gsync, custom screen resolution, 144hz option, framerate cap etc?

No restrictions, all settings are available.

Also, I don't use the Nvidia Control Panel from Microsoft Store, instead I manually download the "Standard" driver from Nvidia and slim that, the Standard driver includes the NV ctrl panel.

Wow, thanks for the video. This is really helpful. Rather than downloading driver that now sized at 700megs for unknown stuffs inside. Going to follow this guide for updating driver.

I'm glad this Channel popped up on the "Home" KZread screen, it proves the Algorithm is working. Subscribed. Lots of great helpful stuff on here. Thanks

Yes and no, depends on the use (VR, geforcenow, shield etc..) but for standard gaming use he's 100% right ! :) Uninstalling the old driver, rebooting, and installing the new one as a "clean install" is already great though. But there's better !

I'd really like to see a video on razer synaptic. 😁 Please.

You guys can try open razer but I don't own a razer product so idk how that works

That was really awesome ; the way you convey man 🙌🔥

what a great video! thank you so much for this, i alwasy wondered if i needed all those componenets. My question is do i need anything else for premiere pro/ aftereffects and photoshop, and occitional gaming.

I download the updated driver from Nvidia's website, extract it with WinRAR and do a manual update through Window's device manager: look for the GPU, update driver, select the extracted folder and let Windows handle the rest. It takes about 30 seconds and it's done. 👌

where did u extract it? can u explain or if u know a tutorial about this method can u send me name of video? I dont know about drivers so I will be happy if u help :(

Cool, this is something I'll pass on to the PC techs at work! There's something fundamentally wrong with a lot of hardware manufactures that do this (it's not just nVidia). Fortunately I don't have the problem at home on Linux, but stuff like this can be extremely important to the work environment.

I have a question can you update/auto update your GPU drivers if you have nvcleanstall?

Thanks man! I'm gonna reinstall my pc soon (fucked up my partition scheme which makes it really annoying when i run out of space to make space atm) so these vids are perfect! I only use windows for gaming how many times i have booted windows after a day working in linux to relax but get my precious gaming time taken over by updates is to many times to count, i sometimes polute my work os with light gaming to avoid windows but now i can make it a little better with these videos, got my minimal iso, minimal nvidia and gonna configure only security updates thanks! If i may ask do you have some windows tips specific for vr? As you mention removing some components from the video driver about vr but would tweaks be possible like turning of other monitors or other tricks improve vr gaming? Love to see you investigate!

I install my drivers through "device manager"

this is one of the best channels available in You Tube, thanks a lot 👍🏾

if i am using nvdia geforce experience for recording what should i check ?

I kind of like the NV Experience mainly for the Driver updates, but also the Game Optimization. I'm not great at optimizing my games manually, and I feel this works. If there is any way to keep that too and get rid of the bloat, I'd be all over that.

Exacly. I have an RTX 3080. I did all the steps in this video and I didnt let NVIDIA optimize my games and it got me 40-60FPS improvement. Not only that. It also clears up few Gigabites of storage.

Hey Chris, a suggestion for a video - "A reset script", this script would include all the things you mentioned in the debloating windows 10 video and install chocolatey plus all the thing you mentioned in this video, this script would be intended for a clean install.

I did exactly as you wrote. I still have nVidia container showing in Task Manager. But most of the other stuff is gone. Its not showing nVidia in the TCP viewer, but in Task Manager it shows 1 NVContainer, I assume thats for the nVidia control panel? Where I set my settings etc?

Excellent walk through and informative, thank you
