Nvidia acknowledged that its latest graphics driver comes with a particularly annoying bug. Here's how to fix it.
If you own one of Nvidia’s best GPUs and you’ve noticed your PC performing worse than usual lately, the latest graphics driver may bear partial blame. That’s because there’s a bug with the current version of Nvidia drivers that increases CPU usage after exiting a game.
Those who recently updated their Nvidia drivers may be in for a nasty surprise — the driver seems to have an impact on CPU usage. After you close a game, you may notice your computer being a little sluggish — this could stem from the latest bug. Users report that Nvidia Container keeps using up to 15% CPU power even after exiting the game. Under regular circumstances, it shouldn’t be claiming any CPU resources once the gaming session is over.
If you own one of the best processors, you may not notice much of a difference, but it’s still an unnecessary strain on your computer and power consumption. Fortunately, fixing the problem yourself is fairly easy. Seeing as it’s only been confirmed to occur in the latest drivers , you just need to roll back to the 528.49 WHQL driver. Download the older version directly from Nvidia and uninstall the latest driver.
