Fullscreen image view launches Nvidia GeForce Experience Shadowplay Overview

[TonyDecvA180XN]

Steps to reproduce

Nvidia GeForce Experience In-game overlay usually launches along with the game as a little memo in the upper-right corner of the screen. When I open any image in Telegram, this animation of this overlay pops up, as well as post-processing filters appear on the image (e. g. I use modified gamma in games). Also, trying to manually open the overlay causes both applications to freeze until I close them. Apparently, Nvidia drivers treat Telegram as a game.

Expected behaviour

Nvidia overlay ignores the application.

Actual behaviour

The opening image in fullscreen gets graphics effects applied by Nvidia GeForce Experience overlay as well as annoying animation shows up every time.

Operating system

Windows 10 21H1

Version of Telegram Desktop

v 3.5.1 x64

Installation source

@TonyDecvA180XN But.. what can I do about it? 😭

[TonyDecvA180XN]

Hmm, maybe there is some API call that the Nvidia driver is hooking to on entering fullscreen. Because not all fullscreen apps have a similar issue.

Had the same issue. Managed to disable the use of the GPU going to "Settings -> Advanced -> ANGLE graphics backend" and set it to "Disabled". No more issues with the images 💪

Hey there!

This issue was inactive for a long time and will be automatically closed in 30 days if there isn't any further activity. We therefore assume that the user has lost interest or resolved the problem on their own.

Don't worry though; if this is an error, let us know with a comment and we'll be happy to reopen the issue.

Thanks!

I'm also getting this issue. Super annoying. The ANGLE workaround works though

[kennyt6]

Lol why does this program need to use the GPU? Make that the default.

[ilya-fedin]

@kennyt6 so you can watch high resolution video and have zooming animation

[mich2k]

Following since I am experiencing this exact issue

[vvdrak]

I'm also getting this issue.

I turned off the ANGLE. Now the images open in a separate empty window

Operating system Windows 11 22 H2

Telegram desktop version 4.6.5 x64

Having this issue as well. Used to not happen. It also causes videos and images to appear transparent and overexposed.

[ilya-fedin]

@Austint30 i don't think this NVIDIA thingie can cause what you describe

[norlin]

That issue is causing full-screen photos overlay to be broken when its opened first time after the Telegram launch, Got fixed automatically after ~30 sec, then working normally until app is closed and launched again

maybe this must be reported to nvidia instead here.

https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-experience/14/292471/exclude-software-from-geforce-experience/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/geforce-experience/14/509290/how-can-i-exclude-an-app-from-being-recognized-as-/

it looks to be quite common bug.

another workaround without disable angle, ofc change ea launcher to telegram:

and acording this: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports-Technical-Issues/EA-Desktop-App-gets-recorded-by-GeForce-Experience-breaks/m-p/12486020#M25477 it must be fixed by nvidia.

maybe proper place to report the bug is here: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/forums/game-ready-drivers/13/729/bug-report/

The solution @cbraga99 wrote about above is working: "Had the same issue. Managed to disable the use of the GPU going to "Settings -> Advanced -> ANGLE graphics backend" and set it to "Disabled". No more issues with the images 💪"

that ain't a solution, it's a workaround causing lower performance on high res videos.
