Nvidia profile inspector

Hi Sentoise, I'm Greg here to help.

It's a programming error which is usually best fixed by reinstalling the app in Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > Nvidia software > Uninstall. Restart Windows.

BUT....unless you need this software to maintain display settings that WIndows itself cannot, I would not install it because you only need the driver, and as in the case with most driver bloatware it can cause unnecessary issues - especially if it's being allowed to freeload on Windows startup and therefore is always running.

If you don't need the software here is how to reinstall the driver without it if necessary: https://www.howtogeek.com/681225/how-to-downloa...

If you need the software reinstall it from https://www.geforce.com/geforce-experience/down...

If problems persist post back the exact error, and Go over Windows using this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account to replace yours which may be corrupted. Then if necessary continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

Feel free to ask back any questions. If you'll post back detailed results then I may know what to suggest next, if necessary.

Minimalist Overclock With Nvidia inspector

Let's say I overclock my GPU (already know the stable clocks and voltage) with Nvidia profile inspector, then create a shortcut and put it in the startup folder and then delete the profile inspector completely. Will the overclock apply itself when I log in? What about when I update the drivers?

The second thing that bothers me is that I can't seem to overvolt my GTX 1080 with profile inspector. What's with that? Am I missing something?

 

Unable to turn Off Frame Rate Limiter in Nvidia Inspector [Solved]

I tried, but somehow there is no profile created!
I gave it the name VRC-Pro and it just does not appear in the list.
