Drivers are very important for smooth and uninterrupted user experience on any system. Drivers are medium between system and other software, and hence without them, working on a system is quite impossible. One of the reasons behind this problem is a missing or misbehaving device driver, so to get the desired results, we will need to reinstall all the drivers once again. Do it and verify if the problem is still there.
Updating Windows works for most of the problems occurring on Windows, and hence it works for this error too. So, if you have not updated your Windows recently, then maybe this error is indicating that, and it’s time to update Windows. To look for the update requirement, click on the Start menu and type “Check for Updates” and when it appears in the search, click on it. As you click on it, you will be taken to a Windows update section. In that section, click on Check for Updates, and Windows will look for it. If updates are available, install it and see if the problem is gone.
Sometimes, when you add new software from unknown or suspicious sources, they may make a few changes to your system leading to many problems. So, it is also possible that any recently added software is causing this error and uninstalling them is the only solution. To uninstall any application or software from your system, press Win + R key. In the Run Window type “appwiz.cpl” and press Enter key, as you press the key, a Window will appear with all programs listed in it. Right-click on the program that you want to uninstall and click on the Uninstall option to proceed. Similarly, uninstall all the recently added programs and restart your system. Check if the problem occurs again.
