Checkthe "Performance" tab of the Wallpaper Engine settings. If you have the option "Other application is playing audio" set to "Mute" and you notice that the sound from Wallpaper Engine keeps turning itself on and off, you likely have a recording program recording your screen and sound in the background.

Lastly, you can also change the option 'other application playing audio' to 'keep running'. However, this means Wallpaper Engine will not automatically mute audio output from wallpapers when you listen to music or watch videos that are not full-screen.


Recently I've updated GeForce Experience and turned on the recording and streaming features it provides. Now I can press Alt+Z when I'm in a game and an on-screen overlay comes up with options to record/stream my gameplay.


However, GeForce Experience likes to remind me of this with a notification almost every time I open a game, which is getting rather annoying:

Is there any way I can disable this notification? I've looked through the settings in both the overlay and GeForce Experience itself, but I can't find any way to turn it off.


From the share overlay (opened with Alt+Z) got to Preferences -> Notifications. From there, set "Share your gameplay" to "OFF" and the notification will no longer be displayed when opening games.

The several other notifications from GeForce Experience can be toggled from this menu as well.


There's a share button on the General page, disable sharing and you disable the notifications. Of course if you want to record game play or broadcast on Twitch you'll have to turn it back on again. I know, not really a solution, but I prefer turning on and off sharing, which is just fast click of a button, when I record, instead of having to continually see those notifications. I couldn't find any other way to do it.


All you have to do is simply log out of GeForce Experience which will automatically disable any sharing or recording capability thus get rid of the annoying overlay notifications. I had a ton of issues with GOG games choking when that stupid Alt+Z notification would appear. They should have just made these overlay notifications able to be turned off by the user. I don't need to be reminded of my ability to share everytime I boot up a game.


NVIDIA GeForce Experience (aka Shadowplay) no longer is able to latch to Warframe with the latest update. It'll even give the prompt when the game starts up that you can activate the overlay, but after that point it doesn't work at all.


It's not a warframe bug, but an Nvidia bug. sometimes you gotta disable and then re-enable shadowplay for it to work. Sometimes it's enough to open GeForce experience. for the problem to solve itself. As sometimes it doesn't fully log you in automatically and you need to log in to GeForce Experience again. This issue occurs sometimes after an update.
