Firstly, please make sure that your PC meets the The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt system requirements.
If the requirements are met please try the solutions below:
1. Reinstall your GPU drivers. To do so completely follow these steps:
- Download newest drivers for your GPU, but don't install them yet.
- Download Display Driver Uninstaller and run it to remove previous versions of drivers.
- Clean install drivers that you've downloaded in step 1.
2. Uninstall all of the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributables that you have installed.
Once it's done install the Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable packages from the link below starting from the oldest ones (skip the "arm" files). Launch all the executables as Administrator.
3. Disable all unnecessary apps before launching the game (especially apps with overlay) such as:
- GeForce Experience
- Riva Tuner
- MSI Afterburner
- MSI Gaming app
- Fraps
- Uplay
- etc.
4. Please try launching The Witcher 3 in a clean boot mode. Here is how to perform clean boot - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135/
