Is there a “patched” version of Geforce Experience that will allow me to use features like Shadowplay without logging in with an Nvidia account?

    I gave up trying to update my wife’s laptop because of this I don’t see why Nvidia need my email address. I’ve never had to create an account for drivers before

      You dont need an account for the drivers. Only geforce experience which is a game launcher optimizer that gets bundled with the drivers. You can get the drivers solo using soms of the options in this thread or my personal favorite tinynvideaupdater on github. Alternatively you can just use the normal installation from nvidia and just never log in into geforce experience. Do a windows search for nvidia and you will find the driver settings tool

      I’m sure I’ve got like 15 nvidia accounts I’ve made with throwaway emails over the years. Annoying when I do a factory restart and have to do it again.

      That’s fair. Some software requires you to sign in again if you make network changes like connect to a VPN or if you update it so I can see why you’d want to avoid it
