I may have missed it as I searched but didn't find this posted anywhere in the forums & thought it may be helpful for anybody that uses NVENC with multiple programs & needs to see what's tying up the encoder sessions.

Open a command prompt and type:

cd "c:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NVSMI"

nvidia-smi.exe encodersessions

Cool, interesting info. Thanks!

By the way, on my PC with driver 442.59 it's not necessary to change directories. That directory is empty for me. nvidia-smi.exe is in c:\windows\system32, so it's in the PATH.
