In the event that you’ve introduced NVIDIA’s GeForce Experience programming, you’ll see many NVIDIA measures running behind the scenes on your PC. We included ten separate cycles in our Windows Task Manager. In any case, what do they all do?
We connected with NVIDIA for a clarification of these cycles, however, they wouldn’t give any extra data. We guess that is to be expected—not even Microsoft clarifies every one of the cycles in Windows itself. However, we took in a ton just by looking around.
(Caution: We talk about incapacitating administrations and finishing undertakings to figure out what does what here, yet we don’t really suggest you start physically debilitating administrations or finishing errands. We don’t know precisely what each interaction does.)
NVIDIA Container
You’ll see a ton of “NVIDIA Container” measures running on your PC. This program, named nvcontainer.exe, gives off an impression of being liable for running and containing other NVIDIA measures. As such, NVIDIA Container isn’t doing a lot of itself. It’s simply running other NVIDIA undertakings.
The SysInternals Process Explorer programming, presently possessed by Microsoft, has an interaction chain of importance that shows a significant number of these NVIDIA measures dispatch other NVIDIA measures.
Many of these NVIDIA Container measures are related with foundation assignments executed as framework administrations. For instance, on the off chance that you open the Services application, you’ll see four NVIDIA administrations: NVIDIA Display Container LS, NVIDIA LocalSystem Container, NVIDIA NetworkService Container, and NVIDIA Telemetry Container.
Naturally, this load of administrations are set to run consequently and consistently stay running behind the scenes, aside from the NVIDIA NetworkService Container. Shockingly, NVIDIA didn’t give these administrations educational portrayals in the Services application.
NVIDIA Display Container LS (NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem) handles some presentation errands. For instance, in the event that you open the NVIDIA Control Panel and snap Desktop > Show Notification Tray Icon, this help is answerable for showing the symbol in your notice region. On the off chance that you end the assistance, the NVIDIA warning symbol will evaporate.
In any case, this help doesn’t appear to deal with numerous other presentation assignments. Regardless of whether you impair this help, the GeForce Experience overlay actually seems to work typically.
It’s difficult to nail down all that the related assistance does, and each probably plays out various related undertakings. For instance, the NVIDIA LocalSystem Container (NvContainerLocalSystem) and NVIDIA NetworkService Container (NvContainerNetworkService) administrations are both needed for utilizing NVIDIA GameStream.
The NVIDIA Telemetry Container (NvTelemetryContainer) administration seems to deal with social event information about your framework and sending it to NVIDIA. This isn’t discount information assortment, in any case, as indicated by the NVIDIA GeForce Experience security strategy, incorporates information like your GPU determinations, show subtleties, driver settings for explicit games, the rundown of games you have introduced as displayed in GeForce Experience, the measure of RAM you have accessible, and data about your PC’s other equipment, including your CPU and motherboard. We don’t think this merits freezing over, and a lot of this information assortment is the thing that permits GeForce Experience to propose ideal designs settings for your PC games.
NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper
The NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper measure (nvsphelper64.exe on 64-digit forms of Windows or nvsphelper.exe on 32-bit variants of Windows) seems to tune in for the hotkey that opens the GeForce Experience overlay from anyplace on your working framework. It’s Alt+Z as a matter of course, yet you can modify it from inside the GeForce Experience application. On the off chance that you end this interaction in the Task Manager, Alt+Z will not open the overlay any longer.
What’s more, in the event that you head to Settings > General in GeForce Experience and flip the “In-Game Overlay” off, this interaction will evaporate
.
In spite of the fact that NVIDIA ShadowPlay is the name of the component that records interactivity, the ShadowPlay Helper simply seems liable for opening the overlay. At the point when you turn on Instant Replay or in any case begin recording interactivity, another NVIDIA Container measure begins utilizing CPU, circle, and GPU assets. So no less than one of the NVIDIA Container measures handles ongoing interaction recording with NVIDIA ShadowPlay.
The NVIDIA Share measures (NVIDIA Share.exe)— and indeed, there are two of them—additionally give off an impression of being important for the GeForce Experience overlay. This bodes well, as the overlay contains sharing components for sharing video clasps and screen captures of your interactivity on a wide range of administrations.
At the point when you impair the In-Game Overlay from GeForce Experience, these cycles will likewise disappear from your framework.
Nonetheless, assuming you end both NVIDIA Share cycles and, press Alt+Z, the overlay will resume and you’ll see that the NVIDIA Share measures are presently running by and by. This appears to exhibit that the ShadowPlay Helper tunes in for the console alternate way and afterward hands off to the NVIDIA Share measures, which handle the overlay.
NVIDIA Web Helper Service (NVIDIA Web Helper.exe)
The “NVIDIA Web Helper.exe” measure is situated in the NvNode envelope. It’s a Node.js runtime, and as such, it depends on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript motor. It runs JavaScript code for different NVIDIA foundation errands. Specifically, Node.js permits web engineers who realize JavaScript to utilize their JavaScript information to compose programming that doesn’t simply run on a website page.
On the off chance that you look in the C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvNode organizer (or C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvNode all things considered in case you’re utilizing a 32-bit form of Windows), you’ll see the content records it employments. A speedy look at the contents uncovers the NVIDIA Web Helper is utilized for consequently downloading new drivers and introducing them, just as different assignments like marking into an NVIDIA account.
On the off chance that you would like to handicap some NVIDIA measures, flipping the “In-Game Overlay” off in GeForce Experience is a surefire safe way of doing it. This will dispose of the NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper measure and the two NVIDIA Share measures until you walk out on. Once more, we don’t by and large suggest handicapping administrations from the Services menu—utilizing the program’s inherent choices is for the most part a more secure way of eliminating these running cycles.
