NVIDIA Share is a hardware-accelerated screen recording utility present in its GeForce Experience application. It has a lot of recording features such as configuring to record the screen a time behind, hence providing the user a lot of flexibility. The ultimate fix for this problem is to turn off NVIDIA Share but before doing that, we will look at a few workarounds to fix the situation.
Solution 1: Changing to a Default Theme
A notable workaround for this problem is to change the theme of your computer to Default Theme. But we would recommend that you change to an Aero theme. We noticed that after changing the theme, the computer would still get stuck but only for a couple of seconds instead of long minutes as before.
Solution 2: Disabling Instant Replay
Instant Replay is a feature in NVIDIA Share which is constantly recording a specifically defined time (lest suppose 1 minute) continuously. If something cool happened, you would press the hotkey and the last one minute would be automatically saved to the computer. After experimenting a bit, we came to the conclusion that Instant Replay also had a hand in this error. You can easily disable it by navigating to NVIDIA Share settings and toggling the option Off. Do note that recording and instant replay are two different features. With recording, you start and stop the recording manually while the instant replay is already recording your gameplay but also disregarding the files which are of more than a minute (this ensures that you get the latest ‘1 minute’) in your instant replay.
Solution 3: Downgrading GeForce Experience Application
Another workaround for this problem is to downgrade the version of GeForce Experience application. GeForce 3.0 is known to cause a ton of different bugs and problems like the one we are experiencing. If you don’t want to permanently disable Share but also fix the not responding problem, you can downgrade the version of GeForce application.
Solution 4: Updating GeForce Experience and Drivers
If all the above solutions don’t work, we can try updating the graphics driver. It may be possible that your graphics driver is not properly configured or is outdated. We need to completely delete all driver files before we install the new driver, therefore, we need to use the utility Display Driver Uninstaller. You can download the utility over the internet easily. You can download the GeForce Experience application from NVIDIA’s official website.
Solution 5: Disabling NVIDIA Share
If all the above solutions don’t work, we can disable NVIDIA Share for good. This will stop the not responding issue completely but you will lose the functionality of NVIDIA Share. You can always turn the feature back on anytime you like.
