General Error 0xE0010160 [SOLVED]

Akreza - When did the issue start for you? Can you post up your Dxdiag to a site like https://pastebin.com then post back just the end of your address. Example: https://pastebin.com /3X4X8WY5 Just the bold part. This maybe related to the recent Windows update or Nvidia driver updates. We are trying to track down which one.

Other troubleshooting you could try:

  • Disable Fullscreen Optimization (For Windows 10 build 15063+)
  1. Log into the Blizzard app → Select the Overwatch tab → Options → Drop down to Show in Explorer → Open the Overwatch folder.
  2. Right click Overwatch.exe and go to Properties
  3. Go to the Compatibility tab
  4. Check Disable Fullscreen Optimization and hit Apply
  5. Do the same for Overwatch Launcher.exe
  • Disable or temporarily uninstall Nvidia Geforce Experience.

  • Disable Nvidia Share

  • Disable Xbox DVR.

  • Place the system in Selective Startup. (Make sure to restart the computer before retesting.)

  • You could try rolling back to your latest Nvidia Driver or perform a clean install of the last build of Nvidia drivers. Utilize a program like DDU to remove your current driver then reinstall the older one.

We have seen a spike of these reports with fixes ranging from restarting the computer, disable third party conflicts, or rolling back drivers.
