6] Reinstall GeForce Experience
If nothing else works, you can choose to reinstall the software. First, you need to go to the applications list and uninstall it. You can also take a look at the Program Files folder, which houses the uninstaller. Then go to the Nvidia website, and download the latest stable version of the software. Then install it on the computer by following the screen instructions. Open the software, and check if the issue is resolved.

9] Use Local Account for NVIDIA Services
Among all the NVIDIA services, there is an NVIDIA LocalSystem Container. Services such as these need to be run through the Local System Account, so there is no permission issue, and it’s secure. However, if it is set to run with your account, then it can be a problem.
Use Win + S to open search, type servcies.msc, and click to launch when it appears.Locate the NVIDIA Services and double-click on NVIDIA LocalSystem ContainerSelect Local System Account under the Log On tab instead of any other account, including yoursClick Apply and then on the OK button to close.

10] Create Local Account
The last in the list is creating another local admin account and test with it. You will need to do this if nothing else works, and it’s better than reinstalling Windows. Follow the linked guide to creating one. Once done, log in to the account, and install the latest version of NVIDIA GeForce Experience and a few games if possible. Launch the software, and check if you see any issue. To verify further, play some games, and use them for some time. If all goes smoothly, your user account may have some problems. The way out is to migrate everything to the new local account either using software or manually, whatever works for you. Once done, you can choose to remove the old account for backup for some time and then remove it with due time.
What is a Local System Account in Windows?
It is a predefined local account used by the service control manager. It has extensive privileges on the local computer and acts as the computer on the network. That said, it is best not to use this account unless you have a direct option available to use it. Only if you have a clear idea of what you are doing, use this anywhere else on the PC.
What is GeForce Experience?
At the core, it is a Driver Updater software, but NVIDIA has evolved it to deliver customization specific to the game and delivers regular updates. You get access to optical settings to use directly. NVIDIA calls these experiences Game Ready Driver, which offers enhancements such as DLSS, Reflex, and Ray tracing. The application not only offers driver updates to NVIDIA GPU but also custom driver settings to enhance game performance. The games are automatically detected, and you get to see a quick comparison between the Current and Optimal settings. I hope this helps!
