[SOLVED] What is "Russian Roulette 2 (nw.exe)" and why is it in my Control panel 3D setting programs?

[Bellocchio]

I have made some research and I saw it's an Nvidia process but can't seem to confirm why the hell it's called Russian Roulette 2 (nw.exe) and why it's there in the first place, anyone knows or have this? I can't find any process named nw.exe in my PC or any info about it being a virus online. Can someone look into this please?

Why did it choose that name? Is there a way to find out the original program name?

nw.exe is a very common file name, I found it in at least 100 programs as well, its 2 letters... not exactly unknown combo. it doesn't mean they are all the same program.

I don't know what part of the Nvidia driver package it is part of
it could be

I think nw.exe is a node-webkit wrapper. Node webkit is a toolkit for turning a web app into an executable.

there isn't much to go on.

That's probably it, the one I have has the same logo and I now I managed to found it in a folder of a Steam game installed a while back. Thanks for the help.
