It is undeniable that NVIDIA is the largest and most famous graphics card supplier in the world, with its Quadro line for Work Station and Geforce for professional graphics and gaming.
NVIDIA Geforce GTX / RTX graphics card is always the first choice of gamers when they need to build themselves a Gaming PC.
And when using Nvidia’s card, you must install Driver with Geforce Experience to have the full and best experience.
But when I opened Task Mananger, I was startled to see more than 10 Nvidia processes active, so what are these background processes? and is it necessary? Please join me to find out through this article!

I. Learn about Nvidia’s background processes on Windows 10
First of all, you should know, these are completely normal processes, nothing harmful or dangerous for your computer.
And it can be said that it is required to run in order for the Nvidia graphics card mounted on your computer to function in a stable and normal way.
If you try to End Task (shutting down) a certain NVIDIA process, chances are that the graphics card will fail during that boot – only temporary error ^^, after rebooting or booting. Again, the process should work OK now.
Now we will go into more detail about each of these processes!
#first. NVIDIA Container
Simply put, NVIDIA Container is like the one Services Host
that I explained to you in the previous post.
If you use the Process Explorer software (Microsoft’s official software) to see details of the processes running in the background on Windows 10, you can see that these blocks contain many other hidden processes from Nvidia inside.
And when you try End Task
the NVIDIA Container
or they have errors and then crash => the processes inside also follow, thereby causing the graphics card error and some functions of the Card will not be used.
In short, this is very important, you should not turn them off, and these processes also rarely consume a lot of system resources.
In addition, other NVIDIA Containers will contain services such as NVIDIA Display Container LS, NVIDIA LocalSystem Container, NVIDIA NetworkService Container and NVIDIA Telemetry Container which you can easily see in the picture above.
These services will continue to run in the background from the time you turn on the computer to the shutdown, we cannot know exactly what these services do because there is no official announcement from the manufacturer. NVIDIA. Affordable trade mark ?
But after a while trying to turn on / off the functions in NVIDIA Control Panel as well as Geforce Experience, I think I have found their respective functions.
- The first is NVIDIA Display Container LS, it is responsible for displaying NVIDIA Control Panel notification icon in the system tray.
- NVIDIA LocalSystem Container and NetworkService Container will need to run continuously as you use the feature
NVIDIA GameStream
to record video, Streaming to Facebook, Yotube, Twitch…. - And finally, NVIDIA Telemetry Container will get information about the computer’s hardware, for optimal performance of games installed on the hard drive when you click the button.
Optimize
in the Geforce Experience.
At first glance, these are quite important, so you should not try to turn them off either End Task
they are in Task Manager
home.
NVIDIA Share is a component of Share Overlay
, it helps you to share Highlight photos and videos that you recorded during the game on some Livestream platforms such as Twitch, Youtube,….
If you turn off In-game Overlay
In Geforce Experience, the Share Overlay feature will also be turned off, simultaneously NVIDIA Share
also no longer runs in the background in Task Manager.
And when you turn it back on Share Overlay
by combination Alt + Z
then Nvidia Share is back to normal as well.
# 3. NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper
This does nothing, just runs and waits for you to press the key combination ALT + Z to open Share Overlay
stop it.
And when you use 1 of 2 ways to turn off Press Alt + Z to share … when playing the game that I have instructed NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper
will also disappear from the Task Manager, and of course you won’t be able to use the menu either Alt + Z
again.
In addition, this process will not help to record your screen, when you activate the screen recording feature, another Container will be run to take care of the video recording.
# 4. NVIDIA Web Helper Service
If explained in detail, this part is a bit confusing and requires you to have basic programming knowledge so I will not say in detail.
Simply put, this process must always be running to help Geforce Experience
Check and update the latest Driver versions for the currently used graphics card, and also thanks to this process we can just login NVIDIA account to that Geforce Experience.
II. Epilogue
So I just finished explaining to you about these background process of Nvidia graphics card in Task Manager on Windows 10 operating system already, after reading it, you will know which one you should turn off to reduce the load, right ?
