NVIDIA Issues Performance Fix For Windows 11 22H2 Update
If you're running Windows 11 and installed the 22H2 update that was released recently, you might've noticed poor performance in games or some applications that rely on your NVIDIA graphics card. NVIDIA has released a fix that should resolve these issues and you can find a link to it below, where you can find an update for the GeForce Experience, which in turn will apply the patch. Exactly what caused these performance issues is unclear and NVIDIA hasn't provided any explanation as to what their fix resolves. This is currently a beta release, but NVIDIA is expecting to release a proper version later this week.

(I have used GFE in the past for game optimization but uninstalled it short after that...)
Unfortunately, I do use GFE for its Gamestream feature. I can stream games to my Shield in the living room and play games with my wife. I love it
And I had no idea that GFN had their own video drivers. How does that work for my iPad mini running iPadOS or LG television running webOS?
Er... no! I'm not installing a 3rd party application / spyware, to fix a problem that is clearly the driver or windows update related.

The driver itself is not the cause which is why people who hadn’t installed GFE didn’t have this problem. That’s also why Nvidia did not issue a beta of the driver as a workaround.
Nvidia mentioned elsewhere that the fix in the beta GFE would be coming to a GeForce driver release imminently.
Summary: GeForce Experience broke performance under Windows 11 22H2 and Nvidia offers this workaround as an interim solution until they issue an official driver update soon.
There are some who appreciate the convenience of GFE's preset performance tweaks for the games they have installed. It saves them lots of time having to manually go about tuning each title's settings which could be substantial if you have a large software collection.
I agree that RTFM is a wise practice in general. I think more people should consider applying that in their daily activities (not just computing) but alas...
Yeah I never install GE it's just crapware.
Even entire operating systems. Ever try Windows ME? Windows 8?
If you are an active gamer, it's probably worth trying GeForce Experience every two or three years just to see what sort of changes they have made. Sometimes a new feature is added that tips the scales and makes the software worth considering. We just don't know what that feature might be for you. Maybe even you don't know.
Same with hardware. I never bought Apple's wireless AirPods. Then they released the AirPods Pro with active noise cancellation. I tried them out and now they are my go-to mobile listening devices. My Bose QuietComfort QC25 on-ear ANC headphones are now collecting dust in a closet.
Things (not just software) can change and not always for the worse.
Anyone know for sure?
