NVDisplay.Container.exe is an NVIDIA service that manages display configurations. When it crashes, you may see black screens, resolution resets, or lost multi-monitor configurations.
How to fix it:
- DDU clean install: boot into Safe Mode, run Display Driver Uninstaller, restart, install the latest NVIDIA driver
- Delete NVIDIA settings profiles: go to %APPDATA%\NVIDIA and delete the DRS folder (contains profile settings — they regenerate)
- Restart NVIDIA services: open Services (services.msc), find all NVIDIA services, restart them
- If the crash happens at startup, check Task Scheduler for NVIDIA tasks that might be conflicting
- Disable NVIDIA Telemetry Container if you don't need it — it sometimes conflicts
