    Just delete geforce experience and manually reinstall your graphics cards driver.

    Go to control panel and delete geforce experience. Then go to http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us and select your gpu model & OS version and download it. During the installation take custom and check perform clean install and don't select geforce experience.

    Ignore the people saying to install Geforce Experience

    Ignore the people saying to install Geforce Experience. I noticed that the error mentions service, so I figured no harm in checking the services right? Basically what happened for me is that I disabled a ton of start-up services to make my computer boot faster, and apparently this was one and it was turned to "disabled" instead of manual. You can change the service "NVIDIA Update Service Daemon" to manual or automatic and then the program will load the next time you click it.

    Thank you. This popup has been annoying me for some time now when I try to update. I just got annoyed enough to Google the answer and found your post among the first.

    I hope this helps others and they ignore the other advice above.
