Disable Nvidia Drivers Telemetry on Windows
Aus MattWiki
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 |
| NVIDIA FrameView SDK service | FvSvc | NVIDIA FrameView SDK service | "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\FrameViewSDK\nvfvsdksvc_x64.exe" -service |
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
