Can't you simply extract NVIDIA package and then use device manager to pick up stuff on it's own?
Sometimes things are very simple and there is no need for any software.

if i do that then it will install all the options under nvidia and it will ignore the options under geforce experience

thanks but that's not what i am asking about

why not go ahead an completely uninstall it. Then reinstall it and make the selections you want on the custom installation options ?

Would this work?

Open: File Explorer >> This PC >> C: >> C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc .... Open the HOSTS file. (ADM..)
• Right click and Open with NOTEPAD
• Insert at the bottom:
127.0.0.1 gfwsl.geforce.com
127.0.0.1 gfe.geforce.com
127.0.0.1 telemetry.nvidia.com
127.0.0.1 gfe.nvidia.com
127.0.0.1 telemetry.gfe.nvidia.com
127.0.0.1 events.gfe.nvidia.com
127.0.0.1 activation-dc1.gfe.nvidia.com
127.0.0.1 activation.gfe.nvidia.com
• Save File (....in Documents)
• Rename the existing HOSTS file (..to HOSTSOriginal)

Locate the HOSTS.txt
• Copy and paste this back in: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
• Rename HOSTS.txt to HOSTS
• Reboot the computer

F.eks:
GeForce Game Ready Driver | 527.56 | Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 11 | NVIDIA
Now uninstall the driver you have installed, then install the one you downloaded.
