There is an issue in the August drivers which seems to (sometimes) cause a conflict between various overlays which did not previously conflict, notably including Nvidia's own GeForce Experience overlay. So running Discord with overlay active + GeForce Experience active could be a black screeen, or running GeForce Experience and a ReShade variant (separate from Nvidia's own 'Freestyle' branch of ReShade), etc.

As several overlays use the full path of a given process to determine if it's one that it should hook—so that, for instance C:\Games\Foobar Studios\Bazgame\engine.exe and C:\Games\Twiddlefizz\Ubertoot\engine.exe show up as two separate things, rather than two instances of 'engine.exe'—renaming the path that something lives in can make various programs lose any overlay settings (and thus stop enabling an overlay).

Given that changing the directory name fixes the original poster's issue, I sort of wonder if that's what happening here. The real question would be if they had the problem prior to the August release of the Nvidia drivers.
