    How to get google out of my laptop?


    Hi.
    I installed Nvidia software for my gaming laptop. All I did is login to my Gmail account for the profile of the Nvidia Geforce. In 2 minutes I got an email from the google team welcoming me to Windows!!
    It says "Welcome to Google on your Windows.
    Next, take these 2 steps to confirm your Google Account settings."
    I don't use Chrome, and I certainly never gave google permission to be on my Windows machine.
    How can I make sure I am google free?
    I'm using the latest Windows 10 OS.
    Thanks.

    When you signed in with Google you gave it permission and you will have to login to get nvidia updates unless you change the email. If you stop google you wont get any updates from nvidia

    You can always download driver updates directly from nVidia. Download Drivers | NVIDIA You can also avoid having the Geforce Experience installed.

    The trick is knowing (or caring) when nVidia driver updates are available.

    You should have GeForce Experience installed, as already stated.

    Do you mean that it's there, or that it's desirable?

    I wouldn't agree with the latter. Maybe it would be useful to gamers, I'm not one.

    I use NVCleanstall to install NVidia drivers and avoid the bloatware NVCleanstall (v1.10.0) Download | TechPowerUp
