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.

No issues here and I never install GFE....

(I have used GFE in the past for game optimization but uninstalled it short after that...)

Was thinking about updating my main rig since it's been on the fritz lately, but glad I decided to wait another month in case of issues like this.

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

I recommend a reinstall of the latest GeForce video drivers after following the procedures listed for GeForce Experience.

Could you elaborate? I’ve been following this issue and this is the first time anyone has mentioned their cloud gaming service GeForce Now being involved.

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?

We don't know what fix NVIDIA is applying from GeForce Experience to fix the bug. I followed the procedure and didn't see any improvement until I reinstalled the GeForce video drivers again afterwards (after applying the fix)

Well, you wrote GeForce Now. How is the cloud service affected?

That was a typo which I have corrected.

Er... no! I'm not installing a 3rd party application / spyware, to fix a problem that is clearly the driver or windows update related.

Nvidia said that the problem stemmed from the Nvidia FrameView SDK Service which is installed with GeForce Experience

www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/501432/nvidia-frameview-sdk-service-causing-massive-lag-a/

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.

Note to self, RTFM. But it does encapsulate my point even more, GFE is entirely unnecessary.

Can I suggest you use NVCleanstall to remove GFE and disable telemetry while your at it and try again.

Well yes, that's why the GeForce installer offers two options: install the drivers with GeForce Experience and to install the drivers by themselves.

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...

ThrashZoneHI,

I think you should approach this with a more expansive view, especially with NVIDIA. Sometimes bad software eventually gets good. Sometimes good software can go bad. And not just gaming utilities like GeForce Experience.

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.

Is GFE even still necessary to fix this issue? It's noted in the original article that "t NVIDIA is expecting to release a proper version later this week" back in late September.

Anyone know for sure?
