It's been brought to our attention that nVIDIA now has telemetry included with its drivers
most likely if you installed
GeForce Experience with the drivers. I'm getting conflicting reports whether it's specific
to GeForce Experience or not. Regardless, it also continues the bloat
with nVIDIA Wireless Controller and ShadowPlay services, something many
don't need.
First, let's go over what these are.
[*] Telemetry is essentially considered spying by many as it is a way to send data back
and forth. It's nowhere near that simple, but we'd like to know what
it's doing in our video drivers when it's never been needed before.
[*] nVIDIA Wireless Controller requires you have, you guessed it, a nVIDIA Wireless Controller.
ShadowPlay is a way to capture and record gameplay.
Type nvidia in the filter box.
You will find Telemetry in the Task Scheduler section and the nVIDIA Wireless Controller, and
ShadowPlay services further down under the registry entries.
Uncheck what you don't want, close and reboot. If you get an error, close the
program and right click on Autoruns.exe or Autoruns64.exe and "Run as
Administrator."
