How do I prevent GeForce from making changes to Skyrim

How do I prevent GeForce from making changes to Skyrim - From above of vintage light box with THANK YOU DOCTORS gratitude message placed on green surface

I have recently bought a game that requires GeForce Experience. When I installed GeForce, I realized that it made small changes to some of my games. Most of the games it made changes too I enjoyed. However it made some changes to Skyrim that I didn't care for.

When I got on the game I noticed that the display was zoomed in, I also noticed that the brightness was different ( but it really isn't a problem), and the last thing was the blur of the screen when my player turned or moved too fast.

I realize that those things are probably improvements for the game, but after playing Skyrim for so long the way it was on my PC, the changes that GeForce made is just annoying.

I don't really want to uninstall GeForce cause the game I got was for both my brother and myself to have something to do together, and without GeForce it won't start. Any ideas or solutions would be great.
