A few days ago she presented Nvidia new drivers for your GeForce graphics cards, version 531.18. If you haven’t upgraded yet, don’t do it yet. The drivers contain several errors, but this is not surprising. One of the new ones is a bug where an unnecessary increase in CPU load may occur after the game is closed. It’s usually 10-15%, which doesn’t make the computer an unusable system, but it will still be less nimble, maybe a little noisier than it needs to be, and in the case of laptops, it also means reduced battery life. There are more temporary solutions to the problem.
Specifically, the Nvidia Container process (nvcontainer.exe) or part of the Nvidia Game Session Telemetry Plugin, which you can turn off, but if you turn on GeForce Experience or a game, it usually restarts. Some recommend deleting the DLL library (or renaming it), which will prevent the plugin from starting, another option is to install an older version of the drivers. A temporary solution may be to restart the operating system. Those who don’t mind the higher CPU load can just wait for a new version with a fix. But the drivers also have several other bugs. Adobe Premiere Pro and Assassin’s Creed Origins sometimes crash, and notebook users with GeForce GTX 1000, MX250, and MX350 series graphics chips may also have problems.
Added: Nvidia has already released a hotfix, version 531.26. Fixed high CPU usage and bugs on GTX 1000 and MX250/350 laptops.
