NVCleanstall leaving NVIDIA Container

Hello,
I just did a fresh installation of W10 and discovered this awesome tool. However, there are still two "NVIDIA Container" processes running after completing my GPU driver installation. Considering that we get to choose whether we want these processes or not during NVCleanstall setup I assume that this is not normal. For clarification, this is how I proceeded:

- Disconnect from the internet (to prevent windows update from reinstalling drivers)
- Reboot in safe mode (recommended by Display Driver Uninstaller)
- Uninstall existing driver using Display Driver Uninstaller
- Reboot
- Launch NVCleanstall as administrator
- Select my driver (manually)
- In components selection, uncheck everything but Display Driver and PhysX
- In installation tweaks, uncheck everything but Disable installer Telemetry & Advertising
- Install
- Reboot

I'm using an ASUS X550CC laptop, the GPU is the GT 720M and driver model is 391.35. I launched NVCleanstall prior to the steps above to let it detect the appropriate driver since I unpluged from my network.

Edit: Just noticed I could expand one of the two processes to see its service, it says "NVIDIA Display Container LS". The other one cannot be expanded.

This is expected, removing those processes will break the Nvidia control panel. There’s an option for that on the tweaks page

Good idea, but works horribly in practice for me.. Control Panel wont work, GFE wont work, and it popups everytime I restart my PC.
Disable-Nvidia-Telemetry is way better for me, to stop reporting, but leaving the container..
Hope there is more tweaks on this tool, but for me, there is no real use for me other than the Removing NVENC stream limit patch.

I don't think this code works anymore. The "NvTelemetry" container has been gone for many years

The scheduled Tasks were also removed a while ago

Also: "As of drivers 430.86 this tool no longer works" https://github.com/Sleepydragn1/Disable-Nvidia-Telemetry/issues/1
