How to Fix NVIDIA Installation Error Code 0xe60000 on Windows 11

Before you jump in and start messing around with more complicated stuff, the quickest and easiest fix a lot of the time is to just update Windows if an update is available. Updates quite often fix the underlying issues that cause these problems.

  • Open the Start menu and search for Settings.
  • Open Settings.
  • Select Windows Update from the left-hand menu.
  • Click Check for updates.
  • If updates are available, download and install them.
  • Restart your computer if Windows asks you to do so.

After your computer has restarted, check to see if there are any new updates popping up, including optional updates, you might as well download them as well.

Uninstall the NVIDIA App and Drivers

The best way to uninstall everything at once is to use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU). It's the best tool for the job since it removes every ounce of graphics-related software from your system, giving you a completely clean slate to work with.

  • Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU).
  • Download the latest stable GPU drivers from:
  • Disconnect your PC from the internet.
  • Run DDU and completely remove your graphics drivers.
  • Restart your system.
  • Install the latest GPU driver.
  • Restart again and reconnect to the internet.

Clean install Everything

Now that you have purged all of the graphics and driver software from your computer, you can go ahead and install everything again. NVIDIA Control Centre has been replaced with the NVIDIA App, so make sure that you are using that moving forward. It is far better than Control Panel, though its overclocking options are pretty average, so if you are trying to overclock, use MSI Afterburner instead.

Still having issues? Use Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode

Display Driver Uninstaller is designed to remove graphics driver packages and related components from Windows. Using it in Safe Mode works even better than standard mode, because Windows loads fewer drivers and background applications, which can make it easier for DDU to remove files that would otherwise be in use.

Repair System Image Files (SFC & DISM)

If nothing so far has worked, run the SFC and DISM tools, then go through all of the steps shown above again. These commands will fix any potential Windows issues that might have been causing problems.

  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  • Run the System File Checker by typing sfc /scannow and press Enter.
  • Run the Deployment Imaging Service and Management Tool with

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth.

Note: Do not interrupt the process, as it may take several minutes to complete.
