I wasted like 4 hours on this shit because everything was so slow. At first I thought there's some hope of restoring the system to a usable state but had to abandon this idea.

Installed it recently to check what all the fuss was about and besides mandatory login requirement it's totally fine.
> every "free" program included with software that gets installed when you forget to uncheck it
Do you even Unchecky?

What's the go to AdBlock these days? I have none on my new laptop. Also, what's wrong with GeForce experience? It came installed on my prebuilt.

Thanks. I browse here because I'm not ultra tech savvy, hence the prebuilt.

When I had money, next month, I took it to a repair place and they took an hour fixing it. Everything worked just fine.

I had it installed for a while on my windows gaming partition. No issues it will update your drivers in one click. I started using this install a bit more lately and let it update GeForce experience and it wanted me to create an account and log in. Fuck. That. Shit. Uninstalled and I'll probably buy a Radeon next time instead. Fuck your horseshit nvidia.
