1) Run the game from the original location

Players on PC must be used to running Genshin Impact from the Desktop shortcuts or Task Bar. This process initially opens the launcher.

If players experience this error code, they can go to the drive in which they've saved the game, go to Program Files > Genshin Impact Game, and run the 'Application' file directly. This won't open the launcher and can fix the error.
