Boost FPS & Reduce Stutters – Disable Hidden NVIDIA Telemetry

Ever wonder why your FPS feels smooth one second and then choppy the next — even with plenty of GPU headroom? That’s not your imagination. NVIDIA drivers install hidden telemetry services, crash trackers, and background loggers that eat CPU cycles and spike frametimes.

In this guide, I’ll show you how to remove NVIDIA driver bloat safely: disable telemetry, clean crash dumps, tweak registry keys, and strip down services that cause stutter.

🛠️ Commands & Paths Used

Step 1 – Disable NVIDIA Services
Run → services.msc
Disable these:
NVIDIA Display Container LS (keep enabled if you use Control Panel)
NVIDIA LocalSystem Container
NVIDIA Telemetry Container (older drivers)
NVIDIA FrameView SDK Service

Step 2 – Delete NVIDIA Logs & Crash Dumps
Paths to clean:
C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\NVTelemetry
C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA Corporation\CrashDumps
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\DisplayDriverRAS
Block NVTelemetry folder from recreating:
Right-click → Properties → Security → Advanced → remove write permissions

Step 3 – Registry Tweaks (Win+R → regedit)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvTelemetry
→ Set EnableTelemetry = 0, LogEnabled = 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nvlddmkm\Global\Startup
→ Set TelemetryEnabled = 0, CrashTrackingEnabled = 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NvContainerLocalSystem
→ Set Start = 4

Step 4 – Clear Shader Caches & AppData Junk
Run → %localappdata%\NVIDIA
Delete contents of:
DXCache
GLCache
NvBackend
ShaderCache
Run → %programdata%\NVIDIA Corporation\NV_Cache → delete all

Step 5 – Clean Install NVIDIA Drivers
Tools:
NVCleanstall → strip telemetry + extras
DDU → full driver removal before reinstall
Install only:
Core Display Driver
PhysX (if required)

Skip:
GeForce Experience
HD Audio (unless HDMI audio needed)
USB Type-C driver (unless VR/monitor needs it)
Verify after install:
services.msc → no NVIDIA junk running
Task Scheduler → no hidden Nv tasks
PowerShell (list tasks containing “Nv”) → disable extra
🚀 Steps Covered:
Disable NVIDIA telemetry services
Delete crash dumps & junk log files
Apply registry edits to stop telemetry
Clear shader cache & driver temp files
Clean install lean NVIDIA driver build
