I am having this same exact problem and am in desperate need of help. I also have multiple of these files. After following what you said here is a screenshot from me after opening its file location from task manager. I also read another post under nwjs and see that someone can't adjust their brightness, and I realised I can't either. Please help me, I have no idea how to fix this issue nor am I tech savvy

February 9, 2024 - That icon and process is linked to the nw.js project, which is a NodeJS container that is bundled in a sandboxed chromium environment. I've actually contributed to this codebase a long time ago. So it could be that you're using a program that is deployed as an application with nwjs, or it could be that it's an actual virus that has an icon and process name of nwjs.
