In any case, Geforce Experience isn't installed on my
setup, and I also don't have any Toolbars or clutter
to show for it.

Installed 1809 via USB stick on this device earlier today
- No new tool bars

Downloaded and installed a few NVIDIA driver(for this device MX150
graphics processor) using setup.exe which included GeForce Experience,
PhysX and drivers. Was using driver 388.73 replaced with 397.31, then
repeated with the latest 418.91(Feb 2019)
- No additional toolbars (Quick Launch and Win10 Taskbar remained
intact, no new toolbars)
- Uninstalled GeForce Experience, PhysX was present before and not
removed(its Control Panel provides an option I occasionally use for 3D)

Tried, but couldn't duplicate the op's issue - didn't notice anything
different with 397 or 418 vs. 388; 397 worked fine/rolled back to it.


The "footprint" of the package was reduced at some point.

It would still be possible to install an older package,
such as a new video card with installer DVD in box, it
could have an older driver in it. For example, I have
one older video card here, that I always use the DVD
in the box to install it on a new OS.
