The software is so comfortable and easy to use that once you get used to it, you can’t think of using any other software in its place. However, things can get slightly irritating when such useful and handy software starts to malfunction. In case you are one of such users for whom Nvidia GeForce Experience software is not working properly, you are just at the right place to fix it. So, be with us until the end since we will be covering solutions for all the possible errors and bugs related to NVidia’s GeForce experience software in this article.
Different Fixes for GeForce Experience Not Loading
There are three types of error messages that you’re bound to encounter as a GeForce Experience user. These include: “Something went wrong. Try rebooting your PC and then launch GeForce Experience. ERROR CODE: 0x0003” “Something went wrong. Try rebooting your PC and then launch GeForce Experience. ERROR CODE: 0x0001” “Something went wrong. Try restarting GeForce Experience.” To not encounter such messages while using Nvidia GeForce Experience on your PC, make sure your PC meets the minimum requirements to use this software. Systems lacking any of the following specifications are more likely to encounter error messages like mentioned above. Operating System: Windows 7/8/8.1/10 System Memory: 2GB RAM CPU: Intel Pentium G Series, Quad-Core i3, i5, i7, AMD FX, or higher Disk Space Requirements: 20MB minimum If your system has all the requirements satisfied for this software to run, but still, the error messages are appearing, you can follow up and try out the fixes one by one.
The solutions in this guide will provide you with possible fixes for every one of these errors
1. Reboot Your Computer
Let’s not forget about the most basic yet effective solution to deal with all kinds of Windows bugs, rebooting the computer. No matter how big of an issue you are dealing with your computer, a normal restart can be significantly helpful in most cases. To use this method effectively, make sure you click on the Restart button rather than choosing the Shutdown option. Because, during the shutdown process, the computer generally hibernates holding on to the data and information of the previous active state for quicker bootup. Hence, choosing the Restart option here is better as you will be commanding the PC to forcefully give up the memory of the current state and start fresh again.
2. Ensure NVidia Telemetry Container is Running or Change Settings
If you are familiar with the Steam software, it also has a Telemetry container which is often known to interfere with the download processes on Steam. Something similar also happens with Nvidia GeForce experience software. Thus, here’s the fix if that’s causing the software to not run properly.
Hopefully, this should fix the problem with the Nvidia GeForce Experience software on your PC. If the issue with the software still persists, you can follow up and try out other fixes.
3. Kill NVidia GeForce Experience Process
Sometimes a software refuses to open or gets stuck on loading because of an already running instance of the same software. If that’s the case going on with your PC, you can try to kill the process and try launching the software once again.
That’s it; this will kill the already running instance of the software. Now, you can launch the software once again, and it should hopefully open without any problem.
4. Restart the GeForce Experience Service or Re-enable
Apart from the NVidia Telemetry Container, you can try out restarting the Nvidia GeForce Experience Service as well. Let’s see how:
In case the error message mentions the 0x0003 error code, this problem can be easily solved by resetting the network adapters on your PC. Mostly every game and a few software including the Nvidia GeForce Experience require the latest Visual C++ Redistributable Packages. Although almost every game and software come with the required Visual C++ packages that are automatically installed during the software’s installation process. If by any chance, the Visual C++ Redistributable packages on your computer are corrupted or outdated, you might encounter errors. To find the most relevant package for your system, you can visit the Microsoft Support Page and download from there.
5. Modify GeForce Experience Compatibility Settings
Due to some recent update which does not support Windows 10 as much as the older versions, changing the compatibility settings might help. For this, you have to follow up a few steps as mentioned below:
Maybe the installed version of GeForce Experience software on your PC is outdated. Hence, updating to the latest version might help to fix this issue. But, since the software is refusing to load, updates won’t be installed automatically. Thus, you have to take this responsibility and download and update the latest version manually. If manually updating the software is helping much, a clean installation of the software is a much better option. But, first, you will need to uninstall the currently installed version from your PC. This is a highly effective fix, in case you are continuously facing error messages including 0x0001 or 0x0003 error codes.
6. Reinstalling the Driver
In case the software is not working properly because of any driver issue, reinstalling the drivers is a good fix to try out.
Most third-party antivirus software like Avast, Norton, and others might interfere with several other software on your computer and stop them from running. In case the antivirus software is interfering and stopping the Nvidia Geforce Experience software to run on your PC, you can simply fix it easily.
Temporarily Disable Your Anti-Virus/Create Firewall Exception
To check if the antivirus software is causing the problem, you can simply disable it for a few minutes and try to launch Nvidia GeForce Experience software once again. However, if you don’t want to keep the antivirus disabled to use the GeForce Experience software, you have one more option. Simply open your Antivirus software and create a Firewall exception for Nvidia Experience Software. This will not only allow you to keep the antivirus enabled, but you will also be able to use Nvidia GeForce Experience without any interference. For users who have multiple storage drives installed on their PC, Windows might be mistakenly installing the updates and drivers in the wrong drive. To fix this issue, we need to set the correct path using the Registry Editor.
Final Thoughts
In this guide, we have covered almost all the possible bugs related to Nvidia GeForce Experience software along with their potential fixes and solutions. In most cases, reinstalling the drivers, or maybe reinstalling the software itself will fix the issues. However, if that does not help, we have mentioned several other ways that can help you fix the errors, so eventually, they will be fixed easily.
