    DWM.exe and CSRSS.exe uses unnecessary amount of GPU


    Recently 2 days ago I noticed that my usual high-GPU rendering applications have been performing very slow. I went to the Task Manager and observed GPU Utilization and memory. I noticed that DWM.exe and CSRSS.exe randomly spike my GPU memory. It is very annoying, it causes frame drops almost every 3-10 seconds.


    I updated Windows 10 and all its drivers and yet this issue still persists. I even went into Performance Options and set to "Adjust for best performance" and still the issue persists. I give up.

    :)

    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.

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

    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.
