Please ensure all other third-party overlays that isn't the Xbox Game Bar (Such as Discord/Steam/Razer) have been disabled. Please check the settings app for each individual app to disable the third-party overlays.

If you are using a Non-US Keyboard Layout, the keybinds may differ and the default Alt-Z may not work. Please open the overlay manually by pressing the overlay button (next to the login & send feedback icon and go to Setting Icon > Shortcuts to reassign keybinds.

Please ensure all NVIDIA services are enabled from the Services.msc/Services program. Make sure that all NVIDIA services and frameworks (Such as NVIDIA Display Container LS/FrameView/LocalSystem Container) are enabled and running. You can right click on the service to manually start the service.

If your PC has Microsoft Windows 10 N or Windows 11 N, you will need to install the Microsoft Windows Media Feature Pack. Following the installation of Windows N Media Pack, reboot your PC and reinstall NVIDIA App.

If all else fails, please perform a reinstallation of the drivers and NVIDIA App using DDU.

Please note that other programs have their own overlays and may interfere with the NVIDIA overlays and game filters. These programs include but not limited to:

  • "Activate Windows" watermark
  • Xbox Game Bar
  • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition
  • Intel Arc Graphics
  • MSI Afterburner/Rivatuner Statistics Server
  • Razer Cortex
  • OMEN Command Center
  • Steam
  • EA App
  • GOG Galaxy
  • Ubisoft
  • Discord
  • Any app that draws itself on top of the desktop/game window

Please check the settings app for each individual app to disable the third-party overlays if you have any issues with NVIDIA overlays.

Activate Windows watermark:
Purchase and activate Windows. This watermark is considered an overlay and can interfere with presentation.

Xbox Game Bar (Default Shortcut: Windows logo key + G) :
Some other software depends on the Game Bar to maximize hardware performance and/or functionality. (e.g. AMD X3D CPUs) Disable only if you know what you're doing.

Game Bar is not easily disabled on Windows 11, and shouldn't be.

On Windows 10, Open Settings > Gaming > Turn off the toggle that starts with Enable Xbox Game Bar.

**AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition (Default Shortcut: Alt + R): ** [Note that this default keybind is shared with NVIDIA's default]
Navigate to Preferences (cogwheel icon) > General > Toggle off "Show Overlay"

**Discord (Default Shortcut: Shift + ` (backtick)): **
Open User Settings (Cogwheel at bottom left next to profile name) > Game Overlay and toggle off the "Enable Overlay" & “Enable Legacy Overlay” option.

**RTSS/MSI Afterburner (Check RTSS/MSI Afterburner for Keybinds/Shortcut as this is set by user): **
RTSS automatically starts if any monitoring overlay is enabled in MSI Afterburner. If that is enabled, or RTSS is currently running as its own overlay provider, either disable the overlays completely, close RTSS, and close and restart Afterburner, or just simply close RTSS (if Afterburner is not in use)

**Steam (Default Shortcut: Shift + Tab): **
Go to Steam > Settings > In game > Disable “Enable The Steam Overlay While In-Game”. You can also do this on an per-app basis by right clicking your game > select Properties > Disable “Enable The Steam Overlay While In-Game”

**Intel Arc Control (Default Shortcut: Alt + O): **
Go to Settings > App Preferences > Window Mode is set to “Disable Overlays”

**Razer Cortex (Default Shortcut: Shift + ' (apostrophe)): **
Uninstall Razer Cortex. This app is redundant with other apps that perform the same functionality.
