Frequently asked questions
How do I fix NVIDIA App stuck on loading?
Clear the NVIDIA App cache folders under ProgramData and AppData Local, then sign in again. Games, drivers, and captures live in your NVIDIA account plus local libraries. Only login and cached thumbnails vanish locally, which rebuild on next open.
Does clearing NVIDIA App cache delete drivers?
No. The NVIDIA App streams settings from your account plus local game scans. The computer holds login, overlay cache, and capture files. Deleting cache logs out at worst but never deletes a driver. Reopen from the taskbar after clearing.
