Hi abruder,
I'm Rodrigo and I will help you.
To remove the tray icon and stop the application from running in the background, open the NVIDIA Control Panel > On the top menu select > Desktop > uncheck "Show Notification Tray Icon.
How can I disable or prevent the Nvidia application from running in the background when the system boots?

Hi, the Nvidia app loads and runs in the background every time I reboot my computer. I want to disable it, but there is no option to disable the app at startup nor in "Start Applications" in the control panel, nor in the "Task Manager" or even in the app itself. How can I disable or prevent this application from running when the system boots? Thanks!
