1428351 2016-11-04 21:02:00 Just upgraded mine, ran autorun and no sign of the offending Telemetry, that may be because its bundled in sections of the drivers that were not installed - Custom install. I never install GeForce Experience or PhysX.

Most people wont care, but there are some who will be all paranoid ;)

Edited: just found one article that tells you whats being sent malwaretips.com scroll down post from Boramurdar.


Can confirm that NVidia did try to phone home after upgrading but simply said NO - and stopped it from sending ( just like ANY Telemetry or outgoing traffic) :)

Somehow it will all be Microsofts fault again :p

Or pissed off at all the unnecessary **** that runs in the background and slow the system down.
I don't have it as I have an old driver....but all the millions of others that come with an O/S are disabled anyway.

Or in plain English, nvidia are preparing to copy your email addresses and sell them to spammers and to push ads at you. :(
