GeForce not letting me optimize games
Title says it all. I've restarted my PC, done a clean install of GeForce AND drivers, etc. Nothing has worked. I have them installed on an external hard drive, does that have anything to do with it? Thanks.

When I open Geforce Experience it opens to Games> a list of game thumbnails , left click on a game and optimize it.
Do you see the games in the front page of the Geforce experience?
Maybe some game cant be optimized further.
Yes external games may not be detected do a search for all game point to external drive.
Click the Gear next to your Avatar. Then click on Games
You should see 2 panels Games Found and the scannow below is add where you see the list currently installed games.

You shouldn't use GFE. It's bloatware, it's better to set your video settings in-game.

notkennyS I notice everytime you post its negative.and Not constructive to OP requests.
Everyone has a right to choose what they want use.
I use the Geforce Experience only cause it offers the screenshot overlay and I can take screenshots without the hud .

Don't install any apps to secondary drives, use their default location.

You don't need GFE, period.
Wipe out everything, intel, amd, nvidia with the ddu app and select safe mode, reboot. Then wipe each brand one by one.

Then reboot and install all latest drivers for Chipset, GPU, Audio, Lan, etc...

Nvidia install, select to install without GFE and the deselect all boxes except for Forceware and PhysX

It's not bloatware, it has actual uses; Shadowplay, Update notification, and the recent addition of ReShade and Sharpening filters.
Sure, you shouldn't allow it to change graphics settings, but that alone doesn't make it bloatware.

I don't understand people hatred towards it, could you explain why?

Yeah I meant not to use it to optimize. I use shadowplay myself, and only that.

Install it properly.
Disable Windows feature to handle drivers or Windows Updates will jump ahead of you and install a driver you can't update through nvidia.com

Disable that feature and reboot, then run ddu and reboot in safe mode.

When installing drivers, download the whole package from nvidia.com

Do not download GFE and have that install drivers. If you use GFE, fine, but disable it's ability to auto updates drivers and set that to notify only.

Sorry, I didn't make something clear. It's been working completely fine until yesterday, it just suddenly stopped being able to do really, anything.

Ok so wipe it all all with the DDU app and reinstall latest version.
