If you are a Tally Prime user and find that pressing Alt + F2 opens Photo Mode instead of changing the period in Tally, you are not alone. This issue is caused by NVIDIA GeForce Experience, which uses the same key combination to activate its Photo Mode (Ansel/Freestyle) overlay.
Since NVIDIA’s shortcut is global, it overrides Tally Prime’s built-in command. Thankfully, this can be fixed easily by either disabling or reassigning the NVIDIA shortcut.
Steps to Disable or Change Alt+F2 in NVIDIA:
-
Open NVIDIA GeForce Experience
-
Press Alt + Z to bring up the in-game overlay, or open it from the Start menu.
-
-
Go to Settings
-
Click on the gear icon (⚙️) in the overlay.
-
-
Open Keyboard Shortcuts
-
Look for Photo Mode / Freestyle / Ansel.
-
-
Reassign or Disable Alt+F2
-
Change the shortcut to something else (like
Ctrl + Alt + F2). -
Or completely disable the shortcut if you don’t use NVIDIA Photo Mode.
-
-
Optional: Disable In-Game Overlay
-
In GeForce Experience settings, you can also turn off In-Game Overlay. This disables all NVIDIA shortcuts and ensures that Tally Prime shortcuts always work.
-
Final Note
Once you disable or change the NVIDIA shortcut, Alt + F2 will work properly inside Tally Prime for period selection. This ensures you can continue using Tally seamlessly without interference from NVIDIA’s overlay.
