These do get installed even if you only install the graphics driver itself in the custom installation dialog.Full Guide

- Tap on the Windows-key on your keyboard, type services.msc and hit enter.
- Double-click on Nvidia Streamer Service in the services window.
- Click on the Stop button to disable it for the session.
- You may receive a message stating that disabling this service will also stop the NVIDIA Streamer Network Service.
- Click on Yes if the prompt appears.
- Doing so terminates the running processes, but you are not done yet.
- Switch the startup type from automatic to disabled.
- Click Apply.
