New Telemetry Tasks? #13

Open Forkinator opened 6 years ago

Forkinator commented 6 years ago

Not sure if these telemetry tasks are new, or if they are even worth removing, but after installing the latest Nvidia drivers (398.82),I am seeing 3 new tasks which i took a screenshot of and linked below.

Screenshot here

Btw, Download link for 1.2 is dead and the files from this download link do not work, meaning the app opens a blank window with the title in the title bar at the top left, but then closes a few seconds later.

@Forkinator Your screenshot is dead, but I assume you're talking about NvNodeLauncher, NvProfileUpdaterDaily, and NvProfileUpdaterOnLogon, right?

NvNodeLauncher relates to the GeForce Experience's local node.js setup, and appears to be benign (you can peruse the .js scripts in C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvNode if you want).

I've done a little bit of research on the other two, and I can't seem to find a whole lot of information. Both are related to the same .exe (NvProfileUpdater), but despite the suspicious sounding name people don't seem to think it's telemetry related.

Profiles are the "automatically optimise my games" settings downloaded by GeForce Experience.
