Cannot install Nvidia GeForce Experience V3.27.0.120

kufr · 31 Dec 2023

I am trying to install the latest Nvidia GeForce Experience V3.27.0.120 since a week or two but I am unable to do so or find any solution how to get it to install on my pc. I am using Windows10 V22H2.

The previous Nvidia GeForce Experience was working fine until the last update of Nvidia GeForce Drivers V 546.33 which was bundled with the latest Nvidia GeForce Experience V3.27.0.120. I did a clean install.

The drivers for my 3D card did install but the Nvidia GeForce Experience & HD Audio Driver failed to install. (See screenshot)

I even tried downloading a brand new copy from the official Nvidia website and every time I try to install it it fails with this dialogue box. (See screenshot)

I also tried to completely uninstall the Nvidia Drivers/Software using the DDU software for a fresh installation of my Nvidia GPU drivers/GeForce Experience.

The updated drivers did install without a glitch but the GeForce installation failed over and over again. I googled the solution and someone said to delete all the GeForce Experience folders from my pc. I checked but there are no folders on my pc for Geforce Experience.

I am unable to install it at all either with the stand alone installer or the bundled package with the latest Nvidia Driver V546.33. Can someone please help me how to fix this issue.

Personally i'd use RevoUninstaller to get rid of every shadow of GeForce and then try installing after a reboot..

Personally, you couldn't force me to install Geforce Experience. That said...

Follow these steps exactly. You'll have to make up your own mind about Geforce Experience.

DDU Instructions - Nvidia
1. Get this program, here: Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) | Wagnardsoft ...get the latest version, and save it to your desktop.
2. Get the DCH/Game Ready vid card driver here, use the Manual Search: Advanced Driver Search | NVIDIA ...save this to your desktop.
Unhook the internet completely.
3. Reboot into Safe Mode and run DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) choose the "Highly Recommend Option", and just do what it tells you.
4. After it's done, reboot to normal mode, then just double click the Nvidia driver to install.
[See pics below]. If it want's to reboot, let it.
Rehook the internet.

Thanks for the reply I have tried the DDU option as well the issue still persists.

You have to disconnect the internet when removing and reinstalling the vid card driver.
If you don't, Microsoft will try to install their version of the vid card driver, which usually corrupts things.

Sometimes, some parts of the vid card driver require reboots.
I absolutely refuse to install Geforce Experience myself, so I don't really know if it requires a reboot.

I'm wondering if Emsisoft might be causing your problem. Maybe try installing the vid card driver with that... disabled.

I have tried everything new clean install, re-downloaded GeForce Experience from the official Nvidia website, used DDU to completely clean everything related to Nvidia, Disabled my anti virus before installing, installing in safe mode everything, restarted my pc multiple time everytime I get this error. I simply just don't know how to make this work. Geforce Experience was working fine on my pc before the latest update and now it simply won't even start I just cant get rid to this 0x0003 error.

I had already disabled Emsisoft before installing GeForce Experience. Why do you refuse to install it can you please let me know thanks ? How to keep your drivers up to date with it ?

I can confirm that I am getting the same error since the last set of Windows updates. I tried to open GeForce Experience today and got this as well:

Cannot install Nvidia GeForce Experience V3.27.0.120-screenshot-2024-01-01-135221.jpg

I am going to check the Nvidia website to see if I can find the resolution. I'll post back when I find something.

Ok. A reboot seems to have fixed it for now. I did find this whilst searching. It's a discussion of all of the causes of this error and potential fixes:

How to Fix GeForce Experience Error Code 0x0003

@kufr - Perhaps try some of the fixes from that link and see what happens.

I should note that my drivers and GeForce Experience package has been installed since Dec. 12th with no issues. I am a little unclear why I got the error, but it seems to have gone away. I am wondering if it wasn't a Windows update glitch or incompatibility with Nvidia? Nvidia has no comment on that, but perhaps in the new year when everyone gets back to work there might be something on this from them.
