What's "GeForce Experience", "Wireless Controller" and "ShadowPlay services"?

Do recent drivers always include the latter? How do I check for them? Are they kernel modules?

In my case, all the nvidia drivers I see loaded are:

    $ lsmod | grep nv
    nvidia_drm             20480  1
    drm                   294912  3 nvidia_drm
    nvidia_uvm            704512  0
    nvidia_modeset        770048  3 nvidia_drm
    nvidia              11866112  42 nvidia_modeset,nvidia_uvm

GeForce Experience is a seperate application that automatically updates the drivers for you. ShadowPlay is their hardware accelerated video capture software. They are optional.
I thought it was pretty obvious it is about the Windows drivers.
