Type services.msc and hit the Enter.
The Service screen will open, now scroll down and look for the Nvidia Telemetry Container.
Right-click on it and click on Properties.
Inside Properties dialogue box, locate the Log on tab and select the checkbox with the name “Allow service to interact with desktop.”

Them click on Apply to save the changes.
Now go back to the Services screen and give a right-click on the Nvidia services and start them (if any remaining).

Before exiting the screen make sure every Nvidia service is running. Now re-run the program where the error was showing and if it is solved. (Most probably it will be solved.)
