Uninstall GerForece Experience. It is not needed to update drivers and is actually considered bloatware.

After uninstalling GeForce Experience you will want to find your specific GPU and specific OS here as listed[www.nvidia.com], download the drivers, and make sure that the setting to install just the drivers is selected[imgur.com].

Try restarting your computer and reset your connection.

GFE is not bloatware, it doesn't come with computers or your graphics card. It's a choice if someone wants it or not.

NVIDIA has gone out of the way to hide that choice and make it sound as if GFE is required. That is an example of Bloatware.

If GFE is not updating the OP's drivers and is crashing at every attempt of it to update those drivers for them, I would suffice to say that GFE is the problem.

Again, it is not needed and never really has been needed. It is a waste of resources and hard drive space when being used.

I don't personally remember them saying or implying that you need it to do this or that. Would you like to provide proof of that? And either way it's a great software and handy software to have. It has an FPS counter a recorder, I can download drivers on the software instead of going on the internet.

Do not download or use 399 Drivers; they are not stable for most people's setups.

When you mess with GPU Drivers, never "update"
Clean install them every single time.

You can go to Nvidia's website and download them directly
