Can't remove .EXE's from Nvidia Inspector Profiles.
Sorry was not sure where else to ask this. So I thought I would try here, since I know many people use this utility for 3dvision, and this is honestly probably the best Messageboard type community I have ever found.
Just some background. Yesterday due to some other issues I was having I upgraded my Motherboard Bios to the latest available version.
I found that this latest version would no longer work with the Nvidia Drivers and I would lose the display. (confirmed by accessing safemode where the system worked ok.)
This is peculiar and ironic in itself as Both my Motherboard and Titan X card are from the same manufacturer (Asus)
Anyway rolling back one step to the previous Bios release resolved the problem.
But now when I try to use Nvidia inspector to disassociate .EXE files from the profiles. Nothing happens. It Now refuses to remove them.
I have tried.
1. Using DDU to completely remove the drivers in safe mode
2. Reinstalling both the latest driver and my current goto 350.12 (using DDU each time)
2. Reinstalling NVINspector and even trying the earlier versions, with a complete clean install. (no residue folders)
Nothing has worked and I'm getting to the point of tearing my hair out.
Any advice or comments from some of the gurus here would be much appreciated.
I have never had this issue before and asking MR google doesn't seem to return any real results.

A couple things I'd try off the top of my head are make sure you delete the C:\NVIDIA\ temp folder before reinstalling Drivers and maybe try running NVIDIA Inspector as Admin?

Thanks, but yes I've tried this. I made sure every remnant of NVIDIA was absent from my system when clean installing the drivers, including the Users hidden Appdata and Programdata folders.
Inspector is also running as admin. (I actually tend to disable UAC completely on my own machines, as well as run on an admin account at all times. (yes I know this isn't best practice but I am the only one with physical access to this computer.
thanks for the reply though. This is a really weird problem

Can you tell us which particular games you are having trouble with?
I'm on driver 355.82 with Inspector version 1.9.7.3 and had no trouble trying multiple profiles on several games yesterday.
A previous poster had the same problem several months ago and remedied it using DDU.

I also use the free version of CCleaner to fix my registry and clean folders after driver installs. Been doing it for years, no idea if it makes a difference. But it might be an option.

Also worth trying is to reinstall your motherboard drivers. Some changes to things like the BIOS can alter subtle settings that make other software misfire. Since you've been doing some low level tweaking, it might be worth treating it as a newish computer.

What about Geforce Experience ?
I had exactly the same problem, on driver 350.12.
The members in here claimed that I should use DDU and try installing without GE..
I did but no change.. DDU Again another driver install (cant remember wich one) no change...
I honestly more or less gave up on it, but I wasn't pleased with the current driver, used DDU once more, again installed 350.12 without GE, and all the sudden NVInspector Worked AGAIN.. and still does..
I still haven't got a clue WTF happened there.. So I guess I just want to cheer you up :)

A couple more random suggestions:
Try deleting the nvdrssel.bin in the Drs folder and then see if NVIDIA Inspector works.
[quote="Helifax"]1. First go to "C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\Drs" Folder.
[snip]
3. Delete the nvdrssel.bin file. (It will get automatically generated on profile import)[/quote]
Try using [url=http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2625]GeForce 3D Profile Manager[/url] to edit the EXE of said Profile(s)
1) Export NVIDIA Profiles.txt with GeForce 3D Profile Manager.
2) Import NVIDIA Profiles.txt with GeForce 3D Profile Manager, if it errors out here there's no sense in continuing. Sometimes other things NVIDIA Inspector/GeForce Experience 'corrupt' the Profiles making it impossible to use GeForce 3D Profile Manager.
3) Find the Profile in NVIDIA Profiles.txt it should look something like this:
[code]Profile "Game"
ShowOn GeForce
ProfileType Application
Executable "Game.exe"
Setting ID_0x00666665 = 0x00000001
Setting ID_0x00a06946 = 0x080116f5
Setting ID_0x701eb457 = 0x2241ab21 InternalSettingFlag=V0
Setting ID_0x708db8c5 = 0x2384c0df InternalSettingFlag=V0
Setting ID_0x709a1ddf = 0x4b1cd968 InternalSettingFlag=V0
EndProfile[/code]
4) Edit the Executable line like this:
[code] Executable "Game_DNU.exe"[/code]
5) Save and Reimport NVIDIA Profiles.txt using GeForce 3D Profile Manager.
1) Export NVIDIA Profiles.txt with GeForce 3D Profile Manager.

This fixed it for me. TsaebehT's comment. I actually stumbled across this yesterday before you posted this up, but I wanted to test it properly before posting I had found the solution.
Interesting and worrying one of the games I was testing's profile was ominously missing when I exported the profile. Even though I know it was there before, maybe this is the clue...
I think you are right though. I think upgrading to the latest driver (a mistake) and rolling back to 350.12 caused the issue. Regardless of using DDU.
I pretty much had tried all the suggestions in this thread prior to posting. treating the machine as a new computer and reinstalling chipset drivers, CC cleaner (although I don't trust the registry cleanup side)
Hopefully this helps anyone else who might get this problem.
I don't really see myself upgrading from this driver every time I do it's a nightmare. I really wish Nvidia would get their acts together with this. I think they need to go back to card focused drivers rather than game focused ones.
