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?

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.

I've same problem with GeForce Experience which is not a good Experience ;)  Btw if it is not running you will still be able to play games and change settings manually in the game options. What else this GeForce Experience has to do really!

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.

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.

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.

Can you specify which drive to install it on? I don't want it on my SSD.

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-e...

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.
