iClone7/CC3 don't launch after nVidia driver update
Hello,
since last nVidia driver update 436.02 either iClone and CharacterCreator fail to load!
When clicking on the software the splashscreen appears with "please wait..." on the bottom, then when it should start to load the elements the splashscreen vanishes and the program won't load.

Please help!
OS: Windows 10

Updating NVidia Studio Driver to latest version (431.70) solves the problem. As Mike said, go to Geforce Experience, then click on drivers tab  and before pressing Check for updates button press the 3 dots menu and  choose Studio Driver.

Mike, it really comes to "6 of one, half a dozen of the other".  I can roll back my game-ready driver from 436.x to 431.60, or I can install the studio driver (replacing the game-ready driver), which is 431.70.  Probably not a huge difference either way.  Still, I took your advice, and am trying it now.  Basically, I think anything over 431.x may have a problem with CC and iClone.  Still, I had not heard of studio drivers before, and apparently while the game-ready driver is optimized for games, the studio driver is optimized for creative apps ... but according to one article I read, still performs just as well for gaming as the game-ready driver.

So ... thanks Mike!  I learned something useful!

Thank you sooo much!!
Ive been trying to get this working gor 4 days!! I’d even done a complete reinstall of windows 10 but to no avail. You sir are a legend!!

You do NOT have to roll back the drivers.

The fix is simple.

You need to update your Studio Driver (found under the options for CHECK FOR UPDATES) under the GeForce Experience.

Do this and the programs will work.

Have a great weekend everyone.
