Seems there is a bug in the NVIDIA Experience application. I have a GTX 1050 mini installed on my home PC and have been experiencing the same issue.
As of 12/17 latest update to NVIDIA Experience, the bug is still there. Simply click Continue – but you’ll see it every reboot or launch of the NVIDIA Experience application.
There are a few workarounds, I’ll highlight below, that I found on the NVIDIA forums regarding this error.
Workaround 1 – Disk Management
- Press Win+R and type diskmgmt.msc – hit enter
- Right click on the removable disk (most likely labeled D) and change drive letter to F or whatever available letter.
- Reboot
Workaround 2 – Registry
Open the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) and modify errormode and set the value to 2.
Note: Make sure you revert this back to its default value when/if NVIDIA updates their software to resolve this issue.
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlWindowserrormode
instead of reassigning a drive letter, or editing in the registry, it is So much easier to deal with the culprit by locating the file NVIDIA Web Helper.exe
path: C:>Program Files (x86)>NVIDIA Corporation>NvNode>NVIDIA Web Helper.exe
and rename that file to “NVIDIA Web Helper.exe.off”
This disables the search for disc and the no disc in drive notice display. It still allows gforce Experience to receive update notifications, but the renaming must be reversed for gforce experience to auto-install any updates.
