The program <em>nvdisplay.container.exe<\/em> is causing a high CPU load \u2013 since the Nvidia Geforce 430.39 graphics driver is installed under Windows 10.<\/p>\n<h2>The problem has been around for a long time<\/h2>\n<p>I found <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.geforce.com\/default\/topic\/1058078\/geforce-drivers\/nvidia-container-nvcontainer-exe-high-cpu-usage\/post\/6036971\/#6036971\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this thread<\/a> in Geforce forum, where this effect has been discussed a while ago. If you search the web, you'll come across numerous articles that mention a load on the system caused by the program <em>nvdisplay.container.exe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>All articles that locate a virus can be ignored &#8211; the program nvdisplay.container.exe belongs to Nvidia. It is probably a program for telemetry data acquisition. At German site ComputerBase I came across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerbase.de\/forum\/threads\/nvdisplay-container-exe-prozess-brauche-ich-oder-kann-ich-den-loeschen.1768090\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this post<\/a> from May 2019, where someone complains about the CPU load of the program. There is already a suggestion of simply deleting some files.<\/p>\n<h2>Delete some folders<\/h2>\n<p>A few days ago <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.geforce.com\/default\/topic\/1058078\/nvidia-container-nvcontainer-exe-high-cpu-usage\/?offset=216\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this thread<\/a> was created within the Geforce forum, which also deals with the high CPU load. In <a href=\"https:\/\/forums.geforce.com\/default\/topic\/1058078\/geforce-drivers\/nvidia-container-nvcontainer-exe-high-cpu-usage\/post\/6036971\/#6036971\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this post<\/a> a solution has been proposed: simply delete two folders in order to disable the program <em>nvdisplay.container.exe<\/em>.<\/p>\n<pre>C:\\Program Files\\NVIDIA Corporation\\Display.NvContainer\\plugins\\LocalSystem\\DisplayDriverRAS\r\nC:\\Program Files\\NVIDIA Corporation\\DisplayDriverRAS<\/pre>\n<p>To delete the folders, the program nvdisplay.container.exe must first be closed with administrator rights. According to deskmodder.de the subfolder <em>DisplayDriverRAS <\/em>has been added somewhere in the near past to the Nvidia Geforce 430.xx graphics driver. This also seems to have something to do with the telemetry data acquisition by the Nvidia driver.<\/p>\n<h2>Addendum: GeForce Hotfix driver 430.53 released<\/h2>\n<p>Nvidia has now released the GeForce Hotfix Treiber 430.53 to correct the high CPU Load issues.
