The above works, just don't click the driver tab. Explains why a reinstall worked until I clicked the driver tab.
GE is still bust, just usable for other stuff until nvidia release a fix.
So if you want the new driver download it manually, make sure GE is selected in the custom install options. This will reset the Table value to zero, and you wont need to edit the file shown in the Guru3D forum. Then you can use GE as normal just don't click the 'Driver' Tab. If not, then follow the guide in the Guru3D thread.

Geforce Experience keeps crashing for me on opening as well.
The GPU drivers crashed a couple of time yesterday, maybe a related issue?
Edit- not to sound lazy, but do we have to visit a website to get this fix or will it be delivered through the GFE?

I did a clean install and noticed this driver pushes experience 2.2.2 onto your system. I already had 2.2.3 on so unticked it. My experience still works fine now.
Try this folks.

No, I am sure these will be unrelated.

With regard to the Geforce experience problem:
Don't change the language from English/US to English/UK.
This would appear to be the problem. Certainly worked for me.

The above works
Switched from UK English to US and I could access the drivers TAB. Changed the language setting back to UK English, selected the drivers tab and it crashed GE. Edit in Notepad...
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\GFExperience.exe_Url_tgm3mttmt5itflhj0kykoi5xkjy53x4g\17.12.8.0\user.config
Parameter: <setting name="LastTabIdx" serializeAs="String">
<value>1</value> Change 1 to 0 and SAVE to get GE working again, open GE, DO NOT CLICK DRIVERS TAB
Click Preferences TAB and change language to US, Driver tab no longer crashes GE.

I just plugged the new card in and it picked it up fine.

I do find this a bit funny, everyone always sang the praises of NV drivers, even though I never personally had any issues with AMD ones, then when I switch to NV, all this happens

It takes two minutes to make the changes necessary to resolve the issue, yes its not right and nvidia are apparently rolling out a fix, but some of us use GE, I personally use ShadowPlay all the time. So a 'Plug' is welcome until we get a fixed GE.

OMG, its a small issue that isn't anything to do with drivers as you can install them manually as normal. I have never had problems with nvidia drivers, or ATI/AMD drivers either. Just saying!

I don't think I've ever had ANY driver issues for ANYTHING, must be a lucky sod, haha.

NVidia drivers on the whole have ranged from poor to terrible for quite a while now, the whole AMD bad, NVidia good, thing is just as inaccurate as NVidia’s product descriptions.
That’s not to say AMD haven’t had terrible software, dear lord they have, but considering the amount of partnerships between game developers and NVidia I would really expect better.
Although it must be hard to make good drivers for games these days, they are fighting an uphill battle with people like Ubisoft simply banging their heads off a keyboard in an attempt to code, but it is hard to defend breaking your own software.

Insalled on my system last night. No issues to report and GeForce Experience was working okay too fwiw although I don't really use it.

All what happens ??? Geforce Experience is not actually the driver. All thats not working is the drivers tab which you dont really need anyway.
Stop blowing things out of proportion again people.
