ItвЂ™s a Node.js runtime, and as such itвЂ™s based on ChromeвЂ™s V8 JavaScript engine. The вЂњNVIDIA Web Helper.exeвЂќ process is located in the NvNode folder. NVIDIA Web Helper Service (NVIDIA Web Helper.exe) This seems to demonstrate that the ShadowPlay Helper listens for the keyboard shortcut and then hands off to the NVIDIA Share processes, which handle the overlay. However, if you end both NVIDIA Share processes and then press Alt+Z, the overlay will reopen and youвЂ™ll see that the NVIDIA Share processes are now running once again. When you disable the In-Game Overlay from GeForce Experience, these processes will also vanish from your system.

This makes sense, as the overlay contains sharing features for sharing video clips and screenshots of your gameplay on a variety of different services. The NVIDIA Share processes (NVIDIA Share.exe)-and yes, there are two of them-also appear to be part of the GeForce Experience overlay. So at least one of the NVIDIA Container processes handles gameplay recording with NVIDIA ShadowPlay. When you turn on Instant Replay or otherwise start recording gameplay, another NVIDIA Container process starts using CPU, disk, and GPU resources. If you end this process in the Task Manager, Alt+Z wonвЂ™t open the overlay anymore.ДЄnd, if you head to Settings > General in GeForce Experience and toggle the вЂњIn-Game OverlayвЂќ off, this process will vanish.ДЄlthough NVIDIA ShadowPlay is the name of the feature that records gameplay, the ShadowPlay Helper just appears responsible for opening the overlay. ItвЂ™s Alt+Z by default, but you can customize it from within the GeForce Experience application.

The NVIDIA ShadowPlay Helper process (nvsphelper64.exe on 64-bit versions of Windows or nvsphelper.exe on 32-bit versions of Windows) appears to listen for the hotkey that opens the GeForce Experience overlay from anywhere on your operating system.

We donвЂ™t think this is worth panicking over, and much of this data collection is what allows GeForce Experience to suggest optimal graphics settings for your PC games.

This isnвЂ™t wholesale data collection, but, according to the NVIDIA GeForce Experience privacy policy, includes data like your GPU specifications, display details, driver settings for specific games, the list of games you have installed as shown in GeForce Experience, the amount of RAM you have available, and information about your computerвЂ™s other hardware, including your CPU and motherboard. The NVIDIA Telemetry Container (NvTelemetrењњontainer) service does appear to handle gathering data about your system and sending it to NVIDIA. RELATED: Relax, NVIDIA's Telemetry Didn't Just Start Spying on You For example, the NVIDIA LocalSystem Container (NvContainerLocalSystem) and NVIDIA NetworkService Container (NvContainerNetworkService) services are both required for using NVIDIA GameStream. ItвЂ™s tough to pin down everything the associated service does, and each likely performs a number of related tasks. Even if you disable this service, the GeForce Experience overlay still appears to function normally. However, this service doesnвЂ™t seem to handle many other display tasks. If you end the service, the NVIDIA notification icon will vanish. For example, if you open the NVIDIA Control Panel and click Desktop > Show Notification Tray Icon, this service is responsible for showing the icon in your notification area. NVIDIA Display Container LS (NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem) handles some display tasks. Unfortunately, NVIDIA did not give these services informative descriptions in the Services app. For example, if you open the Services application, youвЂ™ll see four NVIDIA services: NVIDIA Display Container LS, NVIDIA LocalSystem Container, NVIDIA NetworkService Container, and NVIDIA Telemetry Container.Д«y default, all these services are set to run automatically and always stay running in the background, except for the NVIDIA NetworkService Container. Quite a few of these NVIDIA Container processes are associated with background tasks implemented as system services.
