Yeah, i used "slimmer" a neat little tool (the "town square" of people) had to create to avoid these new moves. Ah , hmmm how would we then utilize the options though? like enabling settings on the gpu & such, i am all for it if we can somehow do it "ourselves". (GN report on Nvidia YT link 2video)This happen & i stopped…
making your own is a bit on the 'easier said than done' side - i'm not exactly well versed in driver authoring but my surface level understanding is that it's a bit of a black box as far as Nvidia are concerned. AMD opensource their linux drivers but afaik not the windows ones. if we're doing conspiracy theories (facts)…
The settings I generally used it for (eg, selecting the gpu to use etc.) are handled properly by windows now but the control panel does appear to still be present on win11 - perhaps they got pushback and left it there or perhaps i misread something. I'm probably not on latest but im likely on the one before that
I just accept that NVIDIA is all or nothing. If you try to reverse-engineer their installer you're bound to have random issues like this. Though I do recall a time when they used to have a vastly-simplified driver-only installer, maybe they still have that.
using a cool app that shows me what things are doing. so for the whole life of this new p.c. this has never worked ever since i learned about the new "inner workings" of the installer, i got all the "editing tools", that removes the issues. Got everything else working, the control panel won't load though any ideas? not…
You can still skip the Nvidia experience still I think. I thought they were deprecating the control panel and leaving it to the OS - maybe not, I leave that stuff well alone Anyway, if you're that bothered about privacy windows is a dead end. A good middle ground is to move your day-day computer usage to linux(not Ubuntu…
