  2. 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

    NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M LE — 0x800f0102

    Hi,

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I understand that you have an issue with installing
    NVIDIA driver update for NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M. I will surely help you to fix this issue.

    This issue could have occurred due to these reasons:

    1. Incorrect Windows Update settings.

    2. Corrupt Windows Update components.

    To understand the issue better let me know, from where you are installing NVIDIA driver update? Is it through Windows Update or through manufacturer website?

    If you are installing NVIDIA driver update through Windows Update follow these steps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to run “Windows Update troubleshooter” to diagnose the exact issue.

    a. Press Windows key from the keyboard.

    b. Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the search box.

    c. Select “View all” option from the left panel.



    d. Then select “Windows Update” option from the list and follow the onscreen instructions.

    Method 2:

    If the issue persists, I suggest you to try the steps under the section
    Manually reset Windows Update components and check if it helps.

    compatibility mode and check if it helps.

    a. Right-click on the setup file of the
    graphics driver and select “Properties”.
