I don`t see the DSR problem with certain monitors on the list to be fixed. So can we assume the DSR issue has been finally corrected with this driver? As well, I noticed there is now an issue with Metro is crashing intermittently while using DX 12 with this set in the list of stuff needing to be fixed. Not sure I want to try these until that 1 is corrected.

Just permamently disable it in "services". Why do you need it running in background?

nVidia Display Container LS needs to be running to access the desktop nVidia display control applets.

But you can start the service to do the changes you need to do and after disable it again.

Which monitor? I had black screen problems with xl2730Z @144Hz freesync, but 120Hz freesync would work fine. So, I ended up fixing it by creating custom frequency of 143Hz. Apparently nVidia's implementation has a problem at 144Hz freesync with my specific monitor. Hope this helps you as well.

For those who have the cpu usage issue, running the nvslimmer utility and installing the bare minimum fixes it. Ie just the Audio driver, gpu driver and physx. Also those anyone actually use 3D vision?

That's not a fix, instead you are not installing the container app.

BenQ EW3270U It was on a list of monitors that were tested and supposedly worked but it doesn't seem to work very well. the freesync range is 40-60fps. I've ordered a different lead (dp 1.2). Not happy to be honest, I only bought this monitor because of freesync, my 1080ti can't sustain 60fps in some of the games I am playing right now. 🙁 Sorry about the text size! I don't know what this is happening. :s

I don't need the other features. With that solution the control panel works and that is enough for me.

I use Nvcleanstall and with the bare minimum, I do have 2 instances of NVDisplay.Container.exe, but not LS one. NVCP works fine. I don't do this for cpu% but to just get rid of stuff I don't use.

What Windows Version do you use? It seems that only the lastest Insider Builds have the high CPU Usage Problem with the LS Container.

That cursor corruption happens in chromium too. Steam is chromium after all. I see it in Vivaldi (chromium 72). I get black screens in vivaldi with recent drivers, I hope a fix comes for 10 like windows 7 users got. I've reverted to 417.71 for now.

I see, I was thinking it was more customized but I guess it's not then and they update to newer versions occasionally for things like security fixes. 🙂 But it should also mean it's a higher priority issue for NVIDIA to fix with how prevalent Chromium is nowadays so there's that at least.
