Whenever I uncheck the Nvidia Control Panel's "Show Notification Tray Icon" option the system tray icon keeps popping up. Every time I do uncheck the tray icon disappears, but if I open Nvidia Control Panel again and close it the icon keeps popping up. The same thing happens everytime I restart or log off. I have tried searching this problem but I haven't found any relate-able problems or solutions. Is there anyway to stop the icon from popping up so much? I really hate unnecessary icons in my system tray since the Nvidia Control Panel is already in my desktop context menu.

That is a strange one. What driver version are you using and have you tried a clean install of the driver? In other words, When installing the driver, select custom, the check the clean install box then select the driver item you wish to install. Secondarily using the clean install option you can deselect the Nvidia Update Component and see if that cures it.

This occurs because you used the "express" install option or used Nvidia "auto update" which uses the same... Doing so==> installs 4 added components that are -completely- unneeded, one of which is the NVTray The fix is quite easy. Download your current driver from Nvidia Launch the installer, using "CUSTOM MODE" Uncheck everything--> but the Nvidia Graphics Driver and PhysX (only these two components are needed) AND-->Put a check box in "perform a Clean install" Click next and complete the install... No more NVTRAY, use the control panel if needed

This issue should not occur using the express install option from the installer. He should be able to deselect the 'Display Notification Tray Icon' using the Nvidia Control Panel and it should not display.

All the more reason to perform a correct Custom/Clean install

it's been 3 years and maniacvvv's workaround no longer works! Does anyone know how to cease the endlessly persistent tray icon (advertisement token)'s appearance? The thing is, if the setting is within the NVIDIA control panel then I won't be able to access that GUI because I don't have a monitor attached to my NVIDIA GPU. For some reason if you don't have something actually attached to the card it will take a (Deleted for Foul Language) on your face if you try to open the control panel. It would seem like this (Deleted for Foul Language) wouldn't be an attribute of NVIDIA (Deleted for Foul Language) still, but it is. I WONDER WHY , no i don't, it's willful ignorance because of all of the game streamers, people see that (Deleted for Foul Language) nvidia icon and its ultimately adding a boost of awareness and thus revenue. If you right click -> exit - close the icon then the endless timed loop will fire the (Deleted for Foul Language) up again in 5 minutes or so. I thought it was a (Deleted for Foul Language) virus at first using the (Deleted for Foul Language) to launch something else so i ran an MBAM scan which turned up clean Even with an empty task scheduler it still manages to remain permanently (Deleted for Foul Language) affixed to my screen because the god damn kernel mode video drivers are invoking the launching of this trash. I don't (Deleted for Foul Language) like being used. (Deleted for Foul Language) off for trying to using me. This will be my last NVIDIA purchase because of this. Not EVGA related, just too mad to post my grievance on the right forum. Not so (Deleted for Foul Language) subtle now is it NVIDIA you greedy (Deleted for Foul Language)

#1 Boot into safe mode.
#2 Delete nvtray from C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Display\
#3 Reboot PC.
#4 Done.

Uncheck it in the Control Panel, that is if you install the driver from NVIDIA and Not Windows Update.

No problem. You'll have to delete it again on each new driver install. Don't install geforce experience.
