I tried NVCleanstall for the first time. I can’t say that I was overwhelmed with having to learn how to use this software. I was given the option to remove ‘NVDisplay.Container.exe’ and I do not need it and decided not to install it. For anyone who has not used this software, it’s basically an advanced installer that gives you control of what you want to install by clicking boxes, a description is given for each option on what it does. I downloaded the driver an pointed the NVCleanstall to the driver location. Very easy to use.
This process has been associated with high CPU usage in the past with reports going back to 2019, if so and assuming it’s the same problem, it’s taken a long time to fix. I don’t appear to need it and given the reports about it, ‘if in doubt, leave it out’. Anyhow, here is some older information which I include because it explains what the process was/is now for. The suggestion is that the process is collecting telemetry and presumably uploading it to somewhere on the internet? Perhaps someone more knowledgeable could enlighten us…
Sure, but for those wondering the “magic” behind and for those wanting to learn something new and wanting to free themselves from being dependent on opaque tools which can do you don’t know what on your system.. To each his own!

You might want to edit your post and remove the bulk of it because 1) it displays expanded instead of collapsed 2) I’ve edited one of the screenshot which was wrong…
Could somebody please confirm whether the issue of screen tearing and huge pixels when render scaling > 100 is fixed with the latest Nvidia Driver 471.96 released today?
To each his own!
