Understanding the Error Code 0x0001
Before we dive into the solutions, let’s take a moment to understand what error code 0x0001 actually means. This error typically occurs when there are problems with the NVIDIA container services or when there is an issue with the Windows Registry. Outdated or corrupted installation files can also contribute to this error. By addressing these underlying causes, we can effectively resolve the error and ensure smooth operation of GeForce Experience.
Solution 1: Change NVIDIA Container Services to Local System Account
One of the common causes of error code 0x0001 is the NVIDIA container services not having the necessary permissions to interact with the local account. By changing the settings of these services, we can resolve the issue. Here’s how:
Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
Type services.msc and hit Enter.
In the Services window, locate the container services used by Nvidia (usually 3 or 4).
Right-click on each of these services and select Properties.
In the Properties window, navigate to the Log on tab.
Ensure that the Local System account option is checked and select the Allow service to interact with desktop option.
Click Apply and then OK.
Restart GeForce Experience and check if the error persists.
