It's responsible only for "Show notification Tray Icon" and to show /open "NVidia Control Panel" in Context Menu.

Needed for loading a tray icon for right clicking to get the nvidia control panel. Pointless unless specified.

I know that this program prevented my computer from booting. It got to the Win7 Pro logon screen and stopped there with no place to log on, just the pretty blue (not bsod) screen. Mouse and Keyboard did not work. Finally gave me an error referencing this app.

If you are having 40% to 60% CPU. even though you checked with Avast, sfc/scannow now via cmd admin; eset online; adwcleaner; (visit bleeping computer .com for more AV/Ransomware protection) The actual fix requires elevated privileges. Here is what you need to do: Use Explorer to open C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Display.NvContainer\plugins\LocalSystem\ Locate the folder DisplayDriverRAS and delete it, e.g. by right-clicking on it and selecting Delete. Navigate to C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\. Delete the folder DisplayDriverRAS. Kill the nvdisplay.container.exe process (or processes) in the Windows Task Manager. Restart the computer. It sometimes wastes cpu cycles; lesser FPS for games or business needs. It is important as a driver, but uninstall the GEForce experience you don't need it.

nvcontainer holds 4 graphics card atm, 690 GTX, 1070 GTX, quadro k2000, and Titan Volta. it can also hold the 4 graphics cards seperately inside your body. the nvcontainer shows up when a nvidia user wants to merge his pride, with his computer. there are 2 types of nvcontainer, 1 of them related to the "Blackpants" virus one is nvidia container (nvidia localsystem container, and the nvidia display container LS. when nvidia container is up, a zeponated system already exists, and we can start to save up money for the RTX card cc..

Causes the EuroAion Client to Lag when moving the Mouse. Problem is solved after stopping it in the Task Manager. If Stopped you can't open the nvidea things per trayicon anymore, but by every other method.

that it always opens itself even if you try to end the process tree
   
In any NVIDIA folders on my PC(Win10 x64, GTX1660Super, bog-standard PC), is there a folder named as noted. I am still unable to remove "NVDisplay.Container.exe". 3 owned top AV/malware tools find no evil in it, but it wastes PC resources.

Best practices for resolving NVDisplay issues

A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with NVDisplay. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using 1cleanmgr and 2sfc /scannow, 3uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using 4msconfig) and enabling Windows' 5Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.

Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the 6resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or executing the 7DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.

To get your computer running as fast as it did on day one, you can 8reset your PC. Your personal files will remain intact, but any programs you installed will need to be reinstalled.

To help you analyze the NVDisplay.Container.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: ASecurity Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. A good Bantivirus software detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.
