Windows 11 driver update lengthy?

Driver Update Slow GeForce Experience

Driver updates always install but there is a big difference in the amount of time it takes to install on my different machines. One takes 3 minutes, another 6 minutes and my main gaming laptop 9 minutes.

Where the delay seems to be is preparing install after download. It was on that page on my main laptop last night for 5 minutes.

I have tried reinstalling GFE and reformatting my laptops but doesnt seem to do anything.

The only process I can see running in task manager is installation module.

Is this unusual and how long do driver updates take to install for you guys?

Hi:

 

NVIDIA GeForce GPU driver updates take less than a minute on my Win11 desktop PC.

 

We don't know your systems specs.

And we'll need to wait for one of the hardware gurus to provide expert technical advice.

But I expect that the short, non-technical answer to your question is: YMMV and depends largely (if not entirely) on your hardware.

 

EDITED TO ADD:

Are you getting these drivers directly from NVIDIA (or your OEM)? (GOOD)

Or are you getting them via Windows Update? (BAD)

 

 

Cheers

 

PS I've never heard of having to reformat/reinstall Windows just to get video drivers.   We will likely need you to run some utilities to obtain your system specs in order to have a better idea what's going on.

Okay thanks. It is a Legion 5 Pro 4070 laptop with i7 13th gen CPU & 32GB RAM.

If this was a Microsoft Driver update, stop using them,

 

If from NVIDIA go to here and get your drivers : https://www.techspot.com/drivers/manufacturer/nvidia_geforce/ the tell you what has been changed and new and fixed.

Also more control.  I do not use Experience as I only want the drivers not it's BS of logon and follow me.

Thank you, it was through GFE. Is what I posted unusual? I will try the way you suggested.

Nvidia by OEM through GeForce Experience. Sorry, I replied to your post before you edited it.

Lengthy is unusual but depends on the age of system, ram and processor.  Your specs should not take long.

 

I do complete new installs from the menus so it does take a little longer for me,  The laptop NVIDIA does not take long, the AMD Radeon takes a little longer.

 

Can investigate your system if want.

Thank you so much for offering to investigate the system.

Here is the output text from Minitoolbox:

 

NOTE : please do not use the Quote all Box.  Just back space it out of the way. If need Quote use the Toolbar Quote to draw attention to something specific. Thanks.

 

Please redo your Speccy Report as it is not found.  So you possibly deleted it on their end which means it is not there anymore.

 

What is the complete Lenovo model name please.  ??

 

Tobii Experience.  Do you have Tobii Aware, and Tobii Horizon enabled devices.  ??

 

nvspcap64.dll  NVIDIA Capture issue as per EDGE.    Always keep NVIDIA up to date and do a clean install each time.

Get your Drivers from here : https://www.techspot.com/drivers/manufacturer/amd/ then know what is going on.  Do not use Experience to update just the driver.

 

A-Volute\A-Volute.Nahimic\Modules\Scheduled\x64\AudioDevProps2.dll  as per EDGE     Check for a Current Version.

As well issues with NahimicSvc64.exe     Exception code: 0xc0000005

 

Have you run from Start -->Search type Troubleshooter use the Windows Update one, if not done please do so.

 

NOTE : The Microsoft Store is a Integral Part of Updating Windows 11.  Open the Store and go down the left side to Library.  Update only what you use.

You do not need to be signed into Microsoft.

 

DCOM) (EventID: 10005  - This event is logged when DCOM received error during the attempt to start the service. Resolution : Correct the low-resource condition

NOTE : Need Speccy Report to see what is going on for a more accurate statement of what is causing low resources.

 

Since am not there or can see, you need to figure this out : The program XboxPcAppFT.exe version 2403.1000.44.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

 

The program PhoneExperienceHost.exe version 1.24021.105.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

 

XboxPcAppFT.exe   is mentioned.  MS Store, Update.

 

IGCCTray.exe version 1.100.5390.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

 

AppleDevices.exe,   Exception code: 0xc0000005   look for a newer version.   NOTE : for all Uninstalls use Geek or Revo Uninstaller for everything as it gets more.

Thank you for your help. I will take onboard your advice, I appreciate it.
