:)

 

error message c:\Users\Nikki\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\NvBackend\ApplicationOntology\OntologydII

Hi Nikki, this is a common enough error, even installing your Graphics driver software will not fix this error

Open Windows File Explorer

On the View Ribbon, check the box marked 'Hidden Items'

Navigate to (replace username with your login name):

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\NvBackend\ApplicationOntology

Delete the contents of that folder and restart your PC

That's It!
