Disable Nvidia Drivers Telemetry on Windows

When installing Nvidia game ready display drivers, Nvidia generously grants itself literally root access (wording from Nvidia itself) to your system. If you like me don't like this very much here is how you remove this.

The following informations are based on:

• Nvidia WHQL Driver 581.29 as of September 2025
• Windows 11 Home 24H2 26100.4946

How to Check if Nvidia Root Container for Telemetry is Installed

Open Windows services panel, i.e. as follows:

Press Ctrl + r

Type services.msc

Look for services with NVIDIA in its name. I had three of them:

Display Name	Service Name	Description	Path to Exe-File
NVIDIA Display Container LS	NVDisplay. ContainerLocalSystem	Container service for NVIDIA root features	C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ nv_dispi.inf_amd64_6cdc9372d41a2731\Display.NvContainer\ NVDisplay.Container.exe -s NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem -f C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA\NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem.log -l 3 -d C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ nv_dispi.inf_amd64_6cdc9372d41a2731\Display.NvContainer\ plugins\LocalSystem -r -p 30000 -cfg NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem\LocalSystem /ert
