- Ending in task manager
- Giving priority in task manager
- Turning on record desktop (off didnt work either)
- Switching application to fullscreen windowed or whatever
- Much more stuff I found on google that didnt work

yes

I know you already said you have enough space but when you have multiple disks even I find myself forgetting sometimes where things save. Double check through the GeForce overlay that your files are saved on a disk with more than enough space. (5gb or more)
If the disk/ssd containing your OS is basically full, then you should change the temporary files location to a different drive.

Make sure to check how big the average file size of your recordings will be.

Reducing bitrate might help with file size, but most people report problems with audio below 15-20 mbps bitrate.

If that doesn't work, then when re-installing, did you make sure to clear out any remaining files before re-installing?
If not, then try re-installing again.

- Uninstall GeForce Experience
- Open 'task manager' > details tab > End any process that starts with "Nvidia"
- Go to your /users/AppData folder, then search in all three folders for any NVIDIA or NVIDIA CORPORATION folders Right click each folder > send to zip to backup just in case
- Delete each folder. If one of them won't delete, you can probably ignore it and continue to the next step anyway.
- Restart PC
- Reinstall GeForce Experience

I personally end up just formatting my entire PC if a major problem like this persists on my PC. It 99% of cases fixes it in the long run.
Yes, it's a massive pain in the ass to format, and you might have stuff you want to back up but sometimes these types of problems just can't be fixed considering 8 years ago this was also an issue and Nvidia just hasn't bothered fixing it.

Already done all this, didnt work. I cant format my entire PC at this moment

make sure there's a path assigned to when you save recordings

I've also tried putting it on a different drive, without success.

faceit anti cheat normally does it

If you watch in 1080p+ shadowplay gets disabled (chrome doesn't do 1080p for netflix)

I had this thing were my temp folder was hidden and didn't work properly

 

[joey]

Just because nobody has mentioned this and it can seriously fuck everything up.
Drivers? with ddu

This is exactly what I did to temporarily fix it, I have done it again and it is again fixed but I'll keep you updated how long this will be a 'fix'.

I don't have high hopes.

I had to use DDU to fully remove the drivers first

So it works now except it records the wrong monitor and now I cannot seem to fix this whatever I do

If enable allow Desktop Sharing, my shadowplay will only record on my 4k monitor if I'm playing fullscreen. It ends every time I enter "desktop mode".

To solve this I have to change the privacy settings.
Shadowplay > Settings > Privacy Control > Toggle Desktop Capture

Change it to this:

Then I can record. I don't really understand why it works this way, but this is how I solve it.
