11. Disable the "NVIDIA Streamer Service" to improve performance and reduce chances of crashing



If you are using an NVIDIA GPU, then you are also likely using NVIDIA GeForce Experience. While the latter can be very useful for determining what settings your rig should lean towards, it also introduces a new service, called "NVIDIA Streamer Service", that is only used for streaming your games to SHIELD devices and is actually causing framerate issues in many recent games, including Grand Theft Auto V and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

To turn this unnecessary service completely off and regain your lost framerate, as well as prevent any associated crashes, click on the Start Button on the Windows taskbar, search for "Services" and then right-click its icon and select "Run as administrator".

Using this screenshot as a visual guide, scroll down through the "Services (Local)" list, find and right-click on "NVIDIA Streamer Service", then select "Properties". First click on "Stop" to turn the service off, confirm that you also want to stop "NVIDIA Streamer Network Service" and then select "Startup type: Disabled" from the drop-down menu for both of these services.

Here's to hoping this works :)

Thanks for the reminder. I was surprised that I had to do this again. It must be turned on with every driver update.

My pleasure :)

I was wondering WTH was cauisng the random crashes
I have a crash when scorlling through WEAPONS, I'm pretty sure that's linked ot a mod that changes gun sights to combat see through sights as it only occurs on NIght vision weapons
but this random one was stumping me, it made no sense, as it could occur at any time (when moving*.
so I i'm guessing what happens is that as you move an dnew textures/models load, the streaming service gets in way and *BAM!* CTD


previously I'd removed a lot of the Nvidia add on crap but yeah updated it last week or so and CTDs...

I removed GEforce Crap Experience months ago, I still have a ctd once and a while though. could it be something else nvidia related ? all my mods work fine and the game plays great, just every now and then get a ctd. I have a gtx 960 4g and it is set for performance ( on a side note all this is gonna be an after thought once I slap in a new gtx 1080 lmao) but hey till then

Thanks for this. When I updated my driver this came back and I forgot how to turn it off

Nvidia streamer network service doesn't appear

Well it's been 6 years since the last post. I guess they changed it. I don't see it in my list of services either. Unless of course they just renamed it
