Windows 10: Desktop Windows Manager extreme GPU usage

Hello,As is the case for many people, I started having problems with Desktop Windows Manager dwm.exe using 70%+ of my GPU, slowing down my computer to the point where it is barely usable.No malware was found after scanning with Malwarebytes,the screensaver and window transparency effects are disabled,the System Maintenance utility didn't detect any problem,The drivers are up to date, with the supposed fix from Intel's driver version 30.0.101.1191 not solving the issue. Here are my specifications :Model : MSI GL-75CPU : IntelR CoreTM i7-10750H CPU @ 2.60GHzGPU : Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070RAM

Desktop Windows Manager high GPU usage persists

Several individuals have reported Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) using unrealistic amounts of GPU for video playback, gaming, or any high graphics intensive activity. Here is a list of just a few of the many requests for support on this issue:

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

Example 5

It has been a few years now that this problem has been reported, are there any accepted fixes. From what I gather, even those individuals with serious graphics cards are vulnerable to dwm.exe dominating their available GPU. I myself report this issue, even
on games and design software with the settings at a minimum. For example, Java will be using ~45% of the available GPU, whereas dwm.exe takes up the remaining ~55%. As stated previously, the result is the entire system halting, not just the game. The mouse
will take a few seconds to stutter across the screen, and task manager will take 5+ seconds to even appear.

There have been many suggestions and no results. Is that Microsoft's consensus then? Thank you ahead of time.
