if you start or exit a game, check task manager and you may see Nvidia Container using around 10% CPU or more for a while

This worked, thank you!

saw the container thing hogging my cpu after playing one day...tought it was their trojan spamming my firewall with requests...still unsure it wasn't that their "bug" 13900k and yes 8-10% cpu usage which I noticed because this cpu gets hot fast and my ram rgb is linked to cpu temp, it went yellow when it should be green at idle the initial link I got for this outside of guru3d failed to install it may explains the links shenanigans, might have been a corrupted install or something
