I am using Windows 圆4 with the latest NVIDIA Drivers and April Windows updates. I didn’t find a solution when googling so wanted to make this reply to hopefully help someone else out. Reboot the PC and the tray should be gone.Īgain I want to say that I don’t know if this will have any other impacts on the operation of the NVIDIA GPU but I haven’t had any issues with Windows or playing games. **NOTE: you will have to kill '' in task manger before you can rename the file But I had to create a desktop icon for the control panel, and the control panel does not show up in Start/All Programs/Nvidia Corporation either. I did a clean install of the driver and unticked the Geforce experience as I do not need it or use it. I simply renamed '' to 'NVDisplay.Container(disable).exe' I have just noticed that I do not now have a system tray icon for the Control Panel. 'C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Display.NvContainer\' After doing some fiddling on my PC I found if you kill the process “” and hover your mouse over the icon it will go away. I must admit that I don’t fully understand the consequences for doing this, so please make a backup to your PC before attempting this just in case something goes wrong!Īnyway registry edits to NvTray don’t seem to work with the newer drivers. If anyone is having issues with removing the Nvidia Tray icon from the notification area follow the steps below.
