Windows 10: Geforce Experience Error Message

GeForce Experience wont open at all, there is no error message unless I run as administrator and it says: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. It doesn't do this for any other app.I have tried reinstalling it but it doesn't help.

Unable to un-install GeForce Experience

I currently have a Windows 10 laptop with a NVIDIA GeForce 970M gpu installed.

I am trying to uninstall the GeForce experience but cannot. I followed the directions in a similar post that stated to do the following:

As you are unable to un-install GeForce Experience software, I would suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below.

• Press Windows key + X.
• Select Device Manager.
• Expand Display Adaptors.
• Right click on NVidia display card drivers and select Un-install.
• Note: After selecting un-install you will get the message dialog box – Confirm Device un-install. Make sure you put a check mark that says Delete the driver software for this device
• Click OK.
• Restart the computer, computer will load generic display drivers.
• Now go to Programs and features and check if GeForce Experience is listed under installed programs. If GeForce Experience is still listed, select it and click on Un-install and check

I am still unable to uninstall the program and am currently trying to reinstall an updated driver.

What else can I do to remove the "experience" program?

Thank you

 

GeForce Experience Not Working

I had the same thing happen to me earlier this week (we've had two GeForce driver updates this week, just got another one this morning). Immediately, I tried again and got that same error message. So I did what the admirable @Bastet suggested: uninstalled GeForce Experience using Revo Installer, then downloaded and reinstalled the latest GeForce Experience version (3.15.0.164 according to its About info). No problems since then. Thus, I can only endorse Bastet's excellent advice, and suggest you follow it at your earliest convenience.
