TechPowerUp NVCleanstall v1.12.0 Released

[btarunr]

TechPowerUp today released the latest version of NVCleanstall, our popular utility that gives you much greater control over the installation of your GeForce software installation, letting you filter out several components you probably don't need, such as Telemetry. Version 1.11.0 introduces support for Windows 11. The utility will now recommend an upgrade from non-DCH to DCH drivers, because NVIDIA stopped releasing non-DCH drivers recently. A new tweak has been added, which when enabled, shows DLSS status and library version through an in-game overlay. Fixes and improvements include a notice when selecting the "Disable NVIDIA Container" option (that it will break NVIDIA Control Panel); bugs related to several third-party driver packages due to a case-sensitivity issue, etc.

Update Nov 11th: We just released NVCleanstall v1.12.0 to fix a bug that got introduced in v1.11.0: On systems with a language that doesn't use "." as decimal separator, an error "Input string is not in a correct format" would pop up.

The change-log follows.

• Added support for Windows 11
• NVIDIA no longer releases non-DCH drivers. NVCleanstall will now recommend an upgrade from non-DCH to DCH when a driver older than 496.13 is installed
• On the final screen you may now pick multiple tasks from "Install", "Show in Folder" and "Build Package"
• Added a Tweaks option to show DLSS status and version overlay in-game
• Added notice to "Disable NVIDIA Container" option that clarifies that enabling it will break the NVIDIA Control Panel
• Fixed issues with some third party driver packages due to case-sensitivity issue
• Improved SFX creation flow to avoid race conditions
• Fixed NVCleanstall window redraw hung for a few seconds after driver installation
• To fix a compatibility issue with winget, NVCleanstall will now wait for the installer to complete before terminating

Neat. It's nice to be able to so easily avoid (most) of Nvidia's bloated crapware and telemetry services.

It would be nice to know why changing something breaks nVIDIA Filters for my Warzone

 

[stimpy88]

Thank you for this fantastic software

What is that "something" ?

 

[chrcoluk]

Could you make it so this tool install's the DCH control panel when one doesnt have working MS store?

Getting a crash and unable to run the app with the following error: Input string is not in a correct format.

This is already supported, on the Tweaks page select "Install Control Panel"

Error 'Input string was not in a correct format'

Hello, I just downloaded the 1.11.0 version and I always got that error when, it seems, it has finished looking for the list of available drivers. I'm on Windows 11 Pro Insider Beta Canal, build 22000.318

Others have reported this, too. Are you on Windows 11 as well?

I have both installed it, and ran it to make a driver pack on my Windows 11 Pro x64 build 22000.318 machine. It worked perfectly.

However I did use a driver that I had already downloaded. But it did finish looking for the recommended driver version, and showed it...

‎Getting a crash and unable to run the application with the following error: The input string is not in a correct format.‎

‎The application crashes if at launch it detects a lightweight Nvidia driver already installed on the machine, I just tried on my other machine that has an intel graphics chipset, and the application works perfectly. again thank you to DCH drivers‎

 

[W1zzard]

L'application plante si au lancement elle détecte un pilote Nvidia léger déjà installé sur la machine, je viens d'essayer sur mon autre machine qui a un chipset graphique intel, et l'application fonctionne parfaitement. again thank you to DCH drivers

Please download 1.12.0. It fixes this bug

 

[Bjørgersson]

Why not 1.11.1?

 

[W1zzard]

Why not 1.11.1?

Already used by test builds that went to beta testers to help narrow down the issue

I use patch versions for internal/test releases and minor for public releases

Indeed, although I usually unpack the driver and just plainly delete the "NvTelemetry" directory and it installs without network hog-ware.

Thank you W1zzard, it's solved now. And yes I'm using Win 11 US version, but I'm in Portugal.

It's awesome to see TPU continue to produce this tool. Its this kind of dedication that keeps the enthusiast community going.

Hey man, welcome to TPU!
Would you mind sharing your experience that make you prefer nvslimmer?
Knowing this could help improving NVCleanstall.

With nvslimmer its more easy, we just check the features that we dont need and job is done, its rapid, easy and clear

Yeah... Paying north of $3000 for a GPU just to get tons of bloatware and intrusive software disguised as 'drivers'. The nvidia privilege.

Kudos to the nvclean authors, though! The heroes we need but don't deserve.

Last I checked AMDs drivers are every bit as bad. Not that that is excusing it.

 

[TheUn4seen]

Kudos for that. I did have an issue related to MS Visual C++, but it might have been caused by my fairly aggressive firewall rules and I couldn't reproduce it even by downgrading to earlier driver using NVCleanstall 1.10.0 and again installing 496.49 with 1.12.0
