How To Disable nView Desktop Manager

nView Desktop manager can cause problems with some software and sometimes it may need to be disabled from the nVview Desktop manager. The command line to disable nView Desktop Manager is "rundll32 "c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nView\nView64.dll", nViewCmd poff" but it restarts when you reboot your PC.

The nView Desktop Manager can make incompatibilities between applications, which is a pain.

Unfortunately this can't be disabled permanently because it can still be opened in the nView Desktop Manager from the Control Panel. It can't be uninstalled because the it will uninstall the nVidia Control Panel and this is still required because the control panel is extremely useful.

The best work around do disable the nView Desktop Manager through in the nVidia Control Panel is to run the below command in the startup as this will persistently disable the nView Desktop Manager.

rundll32 "c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\nView\nView64.dll", nViewCmd poff
 

This is the command line to disable nView Desktop Manager in the nVidia Control Panel.
