TechPowerUp today released the latest version of NVCleanstall, our popular utility that gives you much greater control over the installation of your GeForce software installation, letting you filter out several components you probably don't need, such as Telemetry. Version 1.11.0 introduces support for Windows 11. The utility will now recommend an upgrade from non-DCH to DCH drivers, because NVIDIA stopped releasing non-DCH drivers recently. A new tweak has been added, which when enabled, shows DLSS status and library version through an in-game overlay. Fixes and improvements include a notice when selecting the "Disable NVIDIA Container" option (that it will break NVIDIA Control Panel); bugs related to several third-party driver packages due to a case-sensitivity issue, etc.

Update Nov 11th: We just released NVCleanstall v1.12.0 to fix a bug that got introduced in v1.11.0: On systems with a language that doesn't use "." as decimal separator, an error "Input string is not in a correct format" would pop up.

The change-log follows.

  • Added support for Windows 11
  • NVIDIA no longer releases non-DCH drivers. NVCleanstall will now recommend an upgrade from non-DCH to DCH when a driver older than 496.13 is installed
  • On the final screen you may now pick multiple tasks from "Install", "Show in Folder" and "Build Package"
  • Added a Tweaks option to show DLSS status and version overlay in-game
  • Added notice to "Disable NVIDIA Container" option that clarifies that enabling it will break the NVIDIA Control Panel
  • Fixed issues with some third party driver packages due to case-sensitivity issue
  • Improved SFX creation flow to avoid race conditions
  • Fixed NVCleanstall window redraw hung for a few seconds after driver installation
  • To fix a compatibility issue with winget, NVCleanstall will now wait for the installer to complete before terminating

loracle706With nvslimmer its more easy, we just check the features that we dont need and job is done, its rapid, easy and clear
W1zzardNVCleanstall has the same functionality, and much more of course, like disable telemetry and all the other options on the Tweaks page.
NVCleanstall is pretty easy and clear. You don't have to check the other options, that is why they aren't enabled by default.

As much as people hate on Nvidia, you have to give them props for making the driver modular like that, in a way that is even accesible to a "non-technological" person. The folders have names of what is actually inside of them! And the installer doesn't quit on you when a folder is missing! This isn't to be taken for granted.

I'm trying to figure out how the tweak to show DLSS status and version overlay in-game works.
Do i need Geforce Experience maybe?

About this, I tried as well to figure it out.

The regkey set by "Enable DLSS Indicator" is using the wrong value, to enable it on release versions it needs 1024 decimal, anything else disables it. For dev and debug versions anything except 0 or 1024 enables it.
I also expected that installing the driver with "Enable DLSS Indicator" unchecked would have disabled it, as a normal user wouldn't know what regkey is used. I suggest that when installing with it unchecked, if the regkey exists, change it to 0. Or, if possible, change it to 0 only if it's equal to 1024 so that dev users who set it manually aren't affected

From here
For develop and debug builds, registry key that enables DLSS on-screen indicator is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NGXCore\ShowDlssIndicator
It must be DWORD. Any positive value except 1024 enables DLSS indicator for Develop and Debug builds
of DLSS. On the contrary, Release build of DLSS requires value 1024 to enable DLSS indicator.

Whoops, this is fixed in the build attached to this post. Please confirm it's working properly

This has been added in the new build, too. If the indicator is enabled, the "Tweaks" page will show it as checked
