OP, here is a little help on disabling what started what I think is your problem. You may still need to turn it off in GeForce Experience. In a nutshell, I believe you've activated Live Broadcast through GeForce Experience and need to turn it off, and it might be prudent to disable the shortcut to prevent a repeat of this if it is not needed. Open GeForce Experience Software. Click the gear icon in the upper right corner. Then click Settings under In-Game Overlay as shown below. From there, click Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down to Broadcast Live, and there you can change whatever key combination is set for live streaming to something you're not as likely to unknowingly activate, or better yet, disable the shortcut altogether. Personally, I think whoever came up with the idea for presetting kotkeys for stuff like this deserves a special place in hell. Edited May 26, 2022 by An0maly_76 Revised
Additionally, here’s the method for manually checking status for Live Broadcast, Recording, etc., and enabling or disabling them.
This setup seems pretty unique—cue, asuscert, and ledkeeper all working together. Task manager is running at about 44%, which is fine. I suggest stripping out any ASUS, MSI, or Corsair software since they’re often troublemakers. Even if you don’t notice them in the usual checks, disabling them in Task Manager/services can help. Here’s what task manager should look like now. Yes, I still see a Corsair icon after it started—turns out it’s a big CPU drain, using only 0.1-1%. I can live with that. Also, could you share a screenshot of the startup screen? Also, openRGB isn’t running because I close it right after loading the LED profile. A full scan with Malwarebytes would be a good idea here. https://support.malwarebytes.com/hc/en-u...:~:text=To run a Threat Scan,Quick Scan or Custom Scan. (full specs would be helpful too) Those usually don’t consume much resources, especially if you’re not streaming or recording. What’s the “video card info” part? I haven’t seen that on my system. P.S.: Nvidia container is using 22% (ICUE 17%). I’m curious if you’re actually streaming or recording. But even then, the usage is way too high—probably just third-party apps running background tasks.
