    'DWM.exe' and 'CSRSS.exe' are draining my GPU Usage and Power


    Hi,


    I'm having a problem in my laptop.

    The two above mentioned processes are using my Integrated GPU up to 30-35% when idle or doing something else.

    I have been experiencing this for about 2-3 months now, and I really can't find a fix :/


    There's one thing that I've noticed is - when my laptop is plugged-in and my GPU is switched to my main GPU GTX 1650 , the both processes don't use anything they're almost idle. But when I use my laptop without charger, I experience high GPU usage.


    I have a ASUS TUF-FX505DT


    Device name Satvik_35501650
    Processor AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10 GHz
    Installed RAM 8.00 GB 7.44 GB usable
    Device ID CE37CE65-B93D-461F-8269-E436362F8F79
    Product ID 00327-35854-01765-AAOEM
    System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

    Edition Windows 10 Home Single Language
    Version 20H2
    Installed on ‎14-‎11-‎2020
    OS build 19042.630
    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0

    Here's what I've tried -

    1. Reinstalling Windows.

    2. Resetting My PC Completely.

    3. Reinstalled all drivers.

    4. Downgraded to Windows 10 Ver-2004


    Any help would be appreciated 'DWM.exe' and 'CSRSS.exe' are draining my GPU Usage and Power :D

    Thanks.

    :)

    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.

    Hi LG. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

    See fixes for the issue here:

    2) Download and install Malwarebytes from
    https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/

    In it's Settings > Protection > Scan Options enable Scan for Rootkits.

    Then on Scan tab choose Threat Scan and Run Scan.

    Clean up anything found, restart PC and then run again until it comes up clean.

    (If you want to keep Malwarebytes as an on-demand scanner then you can disable its Real Time trial version in it's Settings > Accounts tab).

    Next check for damaged System Files:
    https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-use-sfc-scannow...

    If it cannot repair them see Step 10 here to continue:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...

    3) If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, and is also the most stable method to advance to the
    latest version.
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/m...

    --------------------------------------------

    But remember that in Windows 10 everything depends upon the quality of the install, and Factory or Upgrade installs are inferior installs which most enthusiasts won't even run because they'd expect endless issues. Consider now or later doing the Clean Install
    in this link which compiles the best possible install that will stay that way as long as you stick with the tools and methods given:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki...    . It's also known to resolve this issue.

    There is also an automated Fresh Start that reinstalls WIndows while shedding corrupting factory bloatware, saves your files, but doesn't clear the drive to get it cleanest:

    I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. If you'll wait to rate whether my post helped you, I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
