What could be causing Nvidia Shield error code 800C0001?
What could cause error code 800C0001 is a combination of things but you are only going to see this error code when you are trying to GameStream or access the Steam database.
The reason it occurs is that you likely have the games stored in a secondary hard drive.
When you have the game you’re trying to open in a second or third drive then the Shield will try to open it through that drive instead of the primary drive.
All games must be opened through the primary drive for them to work so we need to move those alternative game drives and focus on the primary game drive.

The easiest way to solve this error code and fix the Nvidia Shield
There are a couple of things you can try to solve this error code and the easiest is to do a clean install of the game you are trying to play.
Firstly, navigate to the steam library, then go to “Manage Steam”, uninstall the game and then exit Steam. Reopen Steam and redownload the game for a clean install that might solve the issue.
Your other option is to find the other copies of the game in your secondary hard drives and delete them. To do this, go to your computer and go to folders which should be on your bottom taskbar.
If you can see under the tab “My PC” on the left-hand side that you have a “C:” or a “D:” drive then click them and if there is any presence of the game under those folders you can delete them. You may have to reinstall the game but this is a good way of trying to fix the problem.
