Slow down before upgrading the latest NVIDIA driver!The official admits that there is a bug that the CPU usage exceeds 10%
According to foreign media VideoCardz, many players on the Internet have recently reported that they have updated to the Game Ready 531.18 driver version, and a strange phenomenon has occurred. After ending the current game, the CPU usage will soar for no reason, and it seems to be at least 10 more. %, the highest may come to 15%.
For players whose CPU processor is not bad, this problem may not be so easy to notice, but if you are using an entry-level model and doing other work tasks at the same time, you should hear the sound of the fan spinning. But if you want to know if you are affected by this bug, the best way is to check the job manager, enter the “Processor” menu, find NVIDIA Container to see the usage rate.

As for what caused it, it is not clear yet, but some foreign users suggested that a special DLL can be deleted, which may be caused by this DLL, but I don’t think it is necessary, because this is not a big problem, and there is a temporary solution, and delete DLLs have the potential to cause GPU instability:
