Closing Brave ads tries to open Nvidia Experience's streaming tab on Windows #16487
Comments
Thanks, @gaetschwartz! I suspect this is interpreting the notification_helper process/executable as an app you would like to stream. If you run the app manually, does it also launch the NVIDIA view? You can find the notification_helper.exe within the Brave directory in Program Files. |
It doesn't do anything when I double click on notification_helper.exe. And I don't think it interprets the executable as an app I would like to stream because it doesn't do it with any games and it really doesn't seem like a normal behavior. |
Note that it happened previously and I had to reinstall Windows, once I did the issue was still here. Might help. |
By the way Shield is to stream games to NVidia Shield, similar to Stadia or XCloud, it is not related to the Broadcast "Streaming" tab I was talking about. |
@gaetschwartz Thank you for that clarification; I was just realizing that on my end as well :) I'm not finding the Streaming Tab on my system. |
It is in the overlay. It opens the NVidia overlay. You can open your overlay by using the (default) keybind Alt+Z or via the NVidia Experience settings. Telegram.Desktop.2021.06.17.-.21.06.05.05.mp4 |
I'm trying to understand what it is that invokes this app, but it seems there have been years of frustrated users reporting similar issues with this (not with Brave). 4 years ago it appears to have been really unpopular, with Reddit posts and even a popular Twitch streamer raging on air. I'm not able to reproduce the behavior (NVIDIA GeForce Experience, version 3.22.0.32), even after having enabled the feature locally. If you don't need this enabled, you can disable the In-Game Overlay from within the GeForce Experience settings. Unfortunately, it is not clear to me at this time what is triggering the overlay. When you click an ad notification, the notification_helper.exe process is briefly ran, followed by a new brave.exe process. I assume GeForce is detecting at least one of these, and asking if you'd like to stream. Really odd. |
Hi @jonathansampson, thanks the answer, I will try to investigate a little more. Is there any way to trigger a sample Brave Ad i.e launching notification_helper.exe or else ? |
Okay, I reinstalled NVidia Experience and it fixed it. It might be due to the order I installed the two software when reinstalling Windows; NVidia and then Brave. Closing the issue, feel free to reopen it if you feel like there is something that can be done in Brave to palliate this. |
Description
When clicking the "Close" button on the Brave Ad Windows notification it seems to open the Stream tab on Nvidia and start a stream (This I am not sure, just an assumption, as when Instant Replay is enabled on Nvidia Experience, it displays a notification saying I need to disable Instant Replay to do this).
