Nvidia confirms Windows 11 Task Manager reporting is broken with latest 526.47 driver

Nvidia has released today its latest WHQL-certified Windows DCH display driver with version 526.47. The new driver is game ready for Sackboy: A Big Adventure, Victoria 3 and WRC Generations – The FIA WRC Official Game. Aside from game support, it brings DLSS 3 support to F1 2022. The DLSS 3 update lands in a few days time on October 31st.

In the release notes for this driver, Nvidia has also acknowledged the false reading issue currently plaguing its cards. The company believes it is related to an incompatibility problem with the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) and has provided a workaround.
