What is NSU file?

The NSU file has been categorized as Settings Files. It was designed by NVIDIA Corporation. Settings Files consists of 1305 similar files. NVIDIA NTune Command System Profile Settings is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use NVIDIA nTune to handle this file. This is a program created by NVIDIA Corporation.

How to open NSU file?

An often recurring problem with NVIDIA NTune Command System Profile Settings is that NSU is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file NSU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NSU file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install NVIDIA nTune

The first step is to check if the computer has the NVIDIA nTune program installed. This can be achieved by typing NVIDIA nTune into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open NSU files.

Programs to open NSU file

Remember to download programs supporting NSU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NVIDIA nTune with NSU files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NSU file still does not use the NVIDIA nTune program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NSU file with the NVIDIA nTune program.

Step 3. Update NVIDIA nTune to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NVIDIA nTune program, it is possible that NVIDIA NTune Command System Profile Settings requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the NVIDIA Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NSU file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the NSU file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our NSU file. However, remember that not every infected NSU file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of NSU file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair NSU file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use NVIDIA Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NSU files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move NSU to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
