Copy following code to text editor and save it in file with extension 'ps1': Code: # array with process names $processNames = @('nvxdsync', 'nvtray', 'nvnetworkservice', 'nvbackend', 'nvstreamsvc') foreach($name in $processNames) { foreach($process in [System.Diagnostics.Process]::GetProcessesByName($name)) { try { $process.PriorityClass = 'BelowNormal' # all possible values: 'Normal', 'Idle', 'High', 'RealTime', 'BelowNormal', 'AboveNormal' } catch {} } } And execute it with PowerShell: Code: PowerShell.exe -NoLogo -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -File "full_path_to_file" You can make shortcut with that command line and place it in Autostart folder. Or create registry value in 'Run' key. Or schedule it through Windows Scheduler (with trigger 'after user logon'). You can experiment with priority class 'Idle'. Note: I don`t know whether 'nvstreamsvc' is used for ShadowPlay. If it is you can exclude the name from array. Note 2: PowerShell.exe usually lives here - "%windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0" Edit: Add '-WindowStyle Hidden' to command line to hide PowerShell window. Edit2: Looks like NvBackend.exe is started after user logon. So in Task scheduler I added delay for 1 minute in the trigger.
I've never noticed GFE using any CPU load over ~1% when it wasn't scanning for new games or searching for an update. If it's giving you issues might want to reinstall it.
I only have one of those nvxdsync running on my system . Maybe there newer processes as I am still on 331.82 but I don't install GFE or HD audio , I only install base driver and physX . The tray one AFAIK you can turn off in menu .
Not me. I just saw a comment in new beta`s thread where guru states that GFE has huge impact. Later did materialize the idea of script.
I wish there was an option to just completely disable it on startup. I don't actually use it, I just sometimes want to use the recently added desktop streaming option and here I am with 5 worthless processes spawned every time on boot.
The two biggest bugs are with nvidia streamer service and nvidia network service. Neither are needed to use Shadowplay. After installing Experience, enable then set up all your shadowplay keybinds and save/temp folders, then stop and disable the streamer and network service. Been doing this the last few versions because of all the problems these two services cause with no ill effects.
