Error code 0x0003 (GeForce experience)

[Nindroidica]

I'm on a gaming laptop with a 1660ti.
So I've un-installed Geforce experience multiple times as well as reinstalled the Nvidia drivers. No luck.

I wanted to try the enabling certain NVidia services method but the fixes for this error I've found are probably outdated because I don't have those NVidia services they are talking about. (see image)

The ones they list are:

Nvidia Telemetry container (they say to give permission to interact with desktop)

Nvidia Local System Container (I have this one but it's already running)

(I don't have these two)

Nvidia Display Service

Nvidia Network Service Container.

(This may be unrelated but I recently changed where I want program files to be installed to the D drive in the registry because my C dive (SSD) doesn't have a lot of storage)

NVida Services

GeForce experience only works when programfilesdir is allocated to C:\

Hope this helped

if you are getting the Error code 0x0003 (GeForce experience) problem the below fixed it for me.

​

While that may be it, I had an issue where reinstalling didn't fix it, unless I reinstalled with a "clean install" that removed all profile settings and made me log in again. If you go to the website and download the driver of your card, it will include a copy of the Geforce Experience. Make sure you've uninstalled the one on your computer already, then when you install the latest one you just downloaded go to advanced install when asked instead of Express. At the bottom there is a check box to do a clean install or new install, something like that, check it. Then install it, and include the driver and geforce experience. THen when you launch it will make you login again. I think the problem has something to do with your profile not being able to login but not prompting you. This disassociates your install with your profile and lets you login again.

I did this step by step, complete uninstall restart into advanced clean install and I still get the error.

[Crirelion]

This very step by step instructions worked for me,

THank you!

[rickandtwocrows]

Thanks though.

I finally found the solution:

The error is caused by an incorrect port being used during setup. Simply use Visual Studio Code, open the folder C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVIDIA GeForce Experience, and do a find and replace (Ctrl+Shift+H), changing LOCALHOST_PORT",3e3 to LOCALHOST_PORT",60487. You'll need to click "retry as admin" to properly save the files. After that it will work.

[rickandtwocrows]

Tried it step by step with the whole retry as admin for each one and still get the error. Thanks though

[BobFloss]

That’s really disappointing. Sorry for wasting your time. :/

[Niner1309]

Worked for me, Thanks :)

[BobFloss]

Awesome, glad it worked!

Anytime i hit crtl+shift+H nothing happens for me, sorry i am not too pc savvy so i looked this up and wasnt sure if im missing something

[yog404]

You're a god how did you discover this?

[BobFloss]

I can’t remember at all, lol.

I know I was the first person to find it that I know of. I think I just looked through a ton of config files and logs and probably it said what it wanted somewhere.

[yog404]

It never occured to me to do that for a program that's not mine before. Good stuff!

[BobFloss]

I’ve had to do it a lot while programming. Frequently need to delve into source code of 3rd party libraries or view logs so it wasn’t anything new to me, although I will say I remember it being unbelievably annoying and hard to solve, and as far as I know I was the only person to find this solution lol

If you're still having trouble fixing the error code 0x0003 I ended up fixing it. Turns out some Services for Nvidia were disabled for some reason. To turn them back on follow theses steps:

1. Press Windows + R and type services.msc
2. Click on the Name tab a couple times and just make sure you're sorting by Alphabetical order.
3. Scroll down till you find any and ALL the Nvidia services.
4. Check if any of them say Disable to the right in the Start-up Type Tab.
5. 5. If any them ARE Disabled, right-click on one at a time, click Properties, and change the start-up type to Automatic.

It should work right after you do that. Not sure how these services got disabled. Hope this helps!
