Disable Auto Updates for the Nvidia App

[river kindle]

Does anyone know a way to disable Auto Updates for the Nivida App? I need to use older versions due to the new ones having a lot of issues. Nvidia removed the Update settings to which they still guide you trough their step by step guide but does anyone know a workaround?

What kind of issue were you encountering?

Would rather try to fix for real if there's a possible true fix

[river kindle]

Shadowplay maximizing FPS to monitor refreshrate and video settings resetting after every restart or user switch

I've already tried everything and the only fix was reverting back to older versions

Shadowplay has many unresolved issues, thus it is not supported here.

If you are looking for a reliable alternative, please install OBS Studio and read the following guides to configure it:

• NVIDIA NVENC OBS Guide
• Replay Buffer (Instant Replay) guide

I would also be very interested. I also want to use an old version. But unfortunately it always installs the latest version when opening the App.

Yes but this problem isnt about shadowplay. I just want to see if theres a way to disable the auto updates for the Nvidia App as it causes issues

[neat meadow]

Ok. Disable automatic update would be great

...did you mean "game settings"?

Something doesn't seem to be right. You probably were thinking of something else. Instant Replay/Shadowplay doesn't have a "match monitor refresh rate" in its settings, just 30/60/120. So I'm thinking that you might be thinking of automatic game optimization

No. Ive got the following Issue: Once Shadowplay/Instant Replay is enabled, it just limits my Ingame fps to whatever my Monitors refreshrate is at. Its caused by the newest nvidia App version which is why i need to revert to an older one and prevent it from updating automatically

I dont want it to be limited

automatic game optimization isnt on, v-sync is forced off, ive ddu'd the drivers multiple times and tested different ones. It started with the Nvidia App update that happened with drivers 572.83

I'm unable to reproduce this over here

Do you use MSI Afterburner? RTSS?

[river kindle]

It is installed but the Issue occurs with afterburner and RTSS running in the background and not running in the background

Try it with these video settings and make sure you've installed the most recent nvidia app version

Recording Desktop: On
Length: 2:00
Quality: Custom
Resolution: 1080p
Frequency: 60 Fps
Codec: H.264/HEVC
Bitrate: 4.7

Leave instant replay running in the background and start any game that could run above your monitor refreshrate

It will be capped at your monitor Refreshrate despite not having turned on any kind of FPS Limit or V-Sync (Even with complete different video settings). Once you turn off Instant Replay, it unlocks the FPS
