  1. Desktop Window Manager high GPU (up to 100%) usage when moving around the desktop


    When I move through desktops or move a window around, dwm.exe will use all of my integrated gpu horsepower and will stutter. I have found many other users with the same issues as me however no fixes are known. Any ideas?

    Desktop Window Manager High GPU Usage in Windows 10

    Im having same issue whem im moving my cursor or any window it can use up to 35% of gpu ( dwm and csrss) even without gpu installed and the cpu usage goes up to 2%

    But when im putting at nvidia 3d dwm to prefare maximum performance and restart my pc the desktop usage goes to 6% maximum but still in games that i had tested yet in the games csgo and apex legends the usage is about 5% when game running for both games
    , cod mw was using 99% cpu , and 36% dwm with 0% game usage (so this game could be the issue of so high usage) will test later pubg and fortnite

    For some reason when im closing tab gpu usage is spiking to 100% for milisec

    Help microsoft!!! And other companies

    When doing nothing all is at 0.1%

    Without gpu 0-3d but when moving it has gpu 0 3d agian

  3. Desktop Window Manager High GPU Usage in Windows 10

    Hey everyone,

    i got the same Problem since two days. My PC configuration is a Gigabyte 2070 Super 8GB and a Ryzen 7 3700X and ive got every update from Windows and Geforce experience. I am wondering why Windows doesnt said anything to this Problem after seeing this thread
    being 20 Pages Long. Does anybody tried These Solutions
    https://appuals.com/fix-desktop-window-manager-high-cpu-usage-dwm-exe/
    ?

    First i thought the cause is Google Chrome because it made high gpu and Volt usage too but after an uninstall the Problem was still there.

    Is there any Suggestion how to solve the Problem. If this link is working please tell me.
