Hello everybody!
In this video, I’m going to show you how to fix the error when starting GeForce Experience.
We will find out what triggers the error and explore all known ways to fix it.
The utility called GeForce Experience is designed to automatically update Game Ready graphics
drivers and optimize performance of your graphics card in games.
It applies optimal settings for all games, scans the computer automatically for installed
games, displays current and recommended settings for various video effects, screen resolution
etc.
In some cases, when you start the utility or try to configure its settings, the following
error appears (Error code: 0x0003).
In the screen, you will see a notification “Something went wrong.
Try rebooting your PC, and then launch GeForce Experience.”
Unfortunately, rebooting doesn’t always help to fix the problem.
In this video, you will see several methods to get things back to normal.
This error may appear in Windows 10, 8 and 7.
What causes error 0x0003 in GeForce Experience First of all, let’s find out what can trigger
the error.
Users report several things that cause the problem most of the time:
1.
Nvidia Telemetry Service can’t interact with desktop.
If that’s the case, configure the settings to allow interaction between telemetry services
and desktop.
2.
Some of the mandatory Nvidia services are disabled or don’t respond.
The error appears, when the following services are disabled: Nvidia Display Service, Nvidia
Local System Container and Nvidia Network Service Container.
To fix the problem, Force these services to run.
3.
Damaged Nvidia drivers.
If one or several graphics drivers are corrupted or damaged, they may trigger all kinds of
errors, including the one we are discussing today.
The best way out would be to reinstall every Nvidia component.
4.
Network adapter failure.
The error appears when the network adapter fails to respond.
Usually, this is a temporary issue that can be fixed with Winsock Reset Command.
5.
Windows Update replaces graphics drivers.
An error notification is displayed after your Windows updates automatically.
If that’s what happened, remove the current graphics driver and install the latest version
downloaded from NVIDIA’s official website.
Solutions
1.
Allow NVIDIA Telemetry to interact with desktop Let’s see how to fix this error.
Before modifying the settings, try rebooting your computer to see if the error appears
again.
If the error is still here, do the following.
First of all, check NVIDIA telemetry service settings.
Make sure that this service is running and allowed to interact with desktop.
To do it, open the Run window by pressing Win+R key shortcut and type “services.msc,”
then press Enter.
In the Services window, look for Nvidia telemetry container.
If it’s not there, and you can see only three other services, go to NVIDIA’s official
website to download this specific service.
I will give the link in
the description.
Then open the services window again to check if this service is now present.
Right-click on it and select “Properties.”
Open the Log On tab and check the box for “Allow service to interact with desktop,”
then click Apply.
Go back to the Services window and look for the following items: Nvidia Display Service,
Nvidia Local System Container and Nvidia Network Service Container.
Right-click on each one and select the option to run.
When every service is enabled, try doing the same thing that triggered the error before.
If the problem hasn’t disappeared, move on to another method.
2.
Reinstall all NVIDIA components One more thing to try is to reinstall GeForce
Experience together with the video driver.
For that purpose, go to Control Panel / Programs and Features.
In the “Uninstall or change a program” window, sort the list by publisher.
Right-click on the first line saying “NVIDIA Corporation” and select “Uninstall/Change.”
Then repeat this action for every NVIDIA component, and restart the computer.
After that, open NVIDIA website, go to the GeForce Experience menu and download the app.
As soon as the app gets installed, it will add any missing drivers automatically.
After the installation process is finished, you can restart your computer again to see
if the error is gone.
If it’s still there, try another solution.
3.
Reset the network adapter Another thing to do is to reset the network
adapter.
This procedure is known as Winsock reset, or resetting network protocols.
Start the Command Prompt as Administrator And type the following command:
netsh winsock reset Enter.
When the command is performed, restart the computer and check if the same error appears
again.
If the problem still persists, here’s the last solution to try.
4.
Install the latest version of the graphics driver manually
If you still see the error, it must have been caused by a damaged graphics driver.
You need to reinstall the driver manually to fix it.
Go to Control Panel / Programs and Features.
Look for NVIDIA programs and remove everything related to graphics.
Then open the Device Manager and move to Display adapters.
Right-click on the driver with the name of your graphics card and click to uninstall
the device.
After that, restart the computer.
Go to NVIDIA’s official website - Download Drivers - Manual search.
Specify the product type, series, operating system, language, download type, and hit the
Search button.
Download the file you need and run it.
Install the driver following the directions on the screen.
After the installation, check if the same error appears again.
Even a novice user can deal with this error in a few minutes as long as you follow this
guide carefully.
That is all for now!
