The best part: You don’t need to login to use the app anymore, finally!

Oh so it’s finally useful again? I don’t know how many times I’ve installed the thing only to realize I don’t want to set up an account.

I installed it without GeForce experience when it started requiring the account sign in. No login might get me to use it again so I can update drives without having to go to the site to do it manually.

No thx. I’ll stick with the old control panel until they remove it and force us to use the app. Don’t fix what ain’t broke.

The first positive signal comes when you first boot the application, pitching a simple question: are you using this for gaming, or productivity? With this one choice, the app immediately reorients what it presents you with, making sure the settings that actually matter for you are front-and-centre.

Well, what if I want to do both? Selection anxiety will leave me deadlocked on this question for an hour while I look up what the difference means!
