The majority of zoomers are 18 or older. The youngest are 13.
The actual Nvidia driver settings window or all the gamer crap build on top of it that demands you make an account?
Don’t get me wrong, this law is awful but also just deinstall that piece of bloat, good old Nvidia control panel is all you need and works entirely offline without account or did something chance since i left windows?
They're gradually moving all the functionalities of Nvidia Control Panel to the Nvidia App. All the new features can only be accessed from the Nvidia App.
