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.Â* 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.

Hi, Paul.
Must take up close the half of the DVD then if the download is smaller!
- the extracted download driver is 1.6GB and consistent with the
release info that clearly state 1.5 times the size of
pre-extracted(553MB) file is needed.

I did notice, and not something I need(that the later drivers add a
'bunch'(didn't count them or dwell on)of additional NVIDIA Control Panel
options/features...I suspect for the gamer/HD community.
