I just uninstalled the Geforce Experience, and am getting the same error still.
I have no other programs running. Not sure whats going on.
Either you haven't uninstalled it entirely or uninstalling it won't fix it, and you must use the non-beta version (which fixed the issue for the other poster)
OR
You have one of the currently KNOWN causes of the issue:
- If you have the ATI Tray Tools utility installed, you must disable the "Automatic Overclock" feature.
- If you have the Radeon Pro utility installed, you must disable "API monitoring" or use the setting "disable API monitoring for programs not listed in my profiles list"
- The Lenovo One Key Theater and Power management software
- The Trillian instant messenger.
- The Mumble VOIP program.
- The krakensysaudiolauncher.exe from the Razer Kraken headset drivers.
- The ASUS Game First III Application
- The latest version of CPU-Z
- The GeForce Experience Beta
OR
If you are sure you are not running any of the above programs, then you might simply using ANOTHER software that is behaving in a similar (invasive) way as those listed above, that we never heard before. Try to close all your running processes, until you find the offending one.
