Registry still contains a path to a telemetry DDL

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NvContainerLocalSystem
under ImagePath there is still a telemetry DDL referenced. Replacing the whole line with:
"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\nvcontainer.exe" -s NvContainerLocalSystem -f "C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA\NvContainerLocalSystem.log" -l 3 -d "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\plugins\LocalSystem" -r -p 30000
works.
Also, in the Task Scheduler there's NvBatteryBoostCheckOnLogon, which also runs Telemetry: "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\nvcontainer.exe" -f "C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA\NvContainerUser%dSPUser.log" -d "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\plugins\SPUser" -r -l 3 -p 30000 -st "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\NvContainerTelemetryApi.dll" -c
-st "C:\Program Files (x86)\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer\NvContainerTelemetryApi.dll" -c can be cleaned away like in the registry key.
Since he probably won't update it could you explain to an end user like me on how to fix that issue?Telemetry is literally nuking my computer performance in video game and making it a ramming mess.
@TheJanissaire Regarding the registry key, open regedit (if you don't know how, look it up on Google) and navigate to the key in the first post. Double click ImagePath, copy the value in an text editor. Now remove -st "something that ends with TelemetryApi.ddl" -c in the editor and paste it back into the window where you've copied the value from. Click ok.
Regarding my second comment, I went with simply disabling the task. Go to taskschd.msc, find NvBatteryBoostCheckOnLogon, right click it and choose Deactivate.
@kurtextrem Have you experienced any issues with disabled this library being loaded in into the service? Also, I'm not able to find a telemetry library refernce in the NvBatteryBoostCheckOnLogon Task, perhaps it has since been removed?
@NateShoffner No, no errors/popups or anything. Have been doing it for every driver release since I've posted this issue.
And yup, seems like they removed the telemetry library from NvBatteryBoostCheckOnLogon :)
