  1. I've been trying to install updates for ages


    There are two updates on my pc that absolutely refuse to install. I've tried countless things, the troubleshooter, downloading them from the catalogue and nothing seems to work and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. About an hour ago I went and checked windows update and there is an alarming a message in red saying that my device is missing important security and quality fixes yet the updates refuse to install. Whenever the update that is currently installing gets to 100%, nothing happens and it just tells me to check for updates again, which I do and nothing happens. I would really like

    geforce experience takes an age to load..

    Well that's why I asked. Mine is on SSD and takes 11 seconds. Your list of games will not appear if it has not checkd for updated suggested settings for awhile until it checks.

    When it says it is refreshing the game list, it is checking, because NVIDIA periodically updates suggested settings. Plus it will look for those for new games you have installed.

    So, the less it is run, the slower it will be.
