Can I not have to log in to download a bloody driver without jumping through a thousand hoops? Can I choose not to use it at all? Probably not, probably still shit.
Well you have to know the model of your graphics card and your operating system. If you don’t know those things, you will have to either figure it out or download the app so it can detect that information automatically.
As someone that works in tech and is in no way averse to updating my own drivers: this is why I just used the stupid app out of frustration. Even knowing my exact GPU it was still a hassle.

Yes and yes. I don’t install this shit and just install drivers directly from nvidias website without logging in.
I’ve done that before, yes, but I seem to recall it being a lot of hoops to go through. Could be misremembering it, as well though.
I do it every time I update. It was pretty straightforward last time.
That’s said, I really hope this new app doesn’t change something or force me to download it to get the same functionality I have now.
Sounds like all the reason in the world to me to start eyeing up AMD cards.
You can download the driver directly, GeForce Experience isnt necessary.

Yeah, that’s pretty basic. I seem to recall the option to even search by OS/GPU being fairly hidden, but again, probably just misremembering.
It’s the massive list of GPUs and all their variants that probably made it such a memorably bad experience.
You know, this may be it hah.

Okay thank God I’m not insane hahah. I’m over here like, man I’m in tech support, surely I’m just not that bad with Nvidia drivers 😂😂
