Nvidia’s driver team pushes out hotfix for high CPU load issues of previous release
April 30, 2019 Updated to include details of the driver hotfix.
Nvidia’s last driver release, version 430.39, included a CPU loading issue baked into the code. Users reported the Nvidia Container part of the driver is using up between 10 and 20% CPU capacity. There were some workarounds to use if you were suffering from high CPU load, but Nvidia located the issue, tested over the weekend and has now released the hotfix: GeForce Hotfix Driver 430.53.
The Nvidia software team isolated the nvdisplay.container.exe issue, meaning you no longer have to delve into your files and start deleting folders… Not only that but they fixed a few other Nvidia driver bugs too.
But what was the offending file itself doing? The nvdisplay.container executable is part of Nvidia’s telemetry gathering schtick, and even if you opted to install just the display driver only with version 430.39 the software will still create the offending files and folders and potentially jam up your CPU. There’s a good chance you won’t have noticed any issues if you don’t routinely nose about in Task Manager, but if you noticed your CPU fans whirring up more regularly, Nvidia’s drivers might well have been the culprit.
