So the new Nvidia app is out. I think it's not bad! Everything I use is right there now, instead of spread across two apps. Plus you no longer need to log in.

Forgetting my login information and asking me to login every 3 months was a fucking aids idea. Fucking awful. Good riddance.

We'll see everything seems to be positive so far. It can't possibly be slower than the GeForce Experience at least. Why is takes 20 minutes to express install a driver is beyond me.

Thats gotta be a you problem and I cant fathom why its like that. It takes all of 30 seconds to a minute to update the drivers and restart.

I dunno it's just always been that way. Driver installs outside app take seconds, inside 20 minutes.

Does it really take 20m to install the driver? I've never timed my installs, but I would be surprised if it ever took longer than 5min.

It takes WIndows a surprisingly long time to completely re-initialize the graphics subsystem. You can test this out by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Win + B.

You should be grateful that you can even update a graphics driver without a reboot. Back in my day ...
