    When I have an application that consumes even more than just 10% GPU, dwm.exe consumes the rest of my my GPU causing constant lagging lasting usually more than a minute. I have tried solutions online such as upgrading graphics drivers, turning off certain settingse.g. Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling, and running sfc scans and chkdsk in command prompt. Despite this, my problem remains unsolved and making my laptop very hard to use.

    Cripplingly High GPU in Windows 10

    Dave, the two processes apparently hogging all the GPU were desktop windows manager and client server runtime process.

    However, when I list them now, after numerous reboots and reinstalls, no apps show up as consuming GPU, yet GPU is at 80-100%. I think this is because the apps are only consuming the 3D component of the GPU and not the others - copy, decode, processing or
    shared memory usage?

    I've spent some time on Google and it seems to be a fairly common symptom but none of the suggested solutions are effective.

    It doesn't seem to be linked to any significant changes, I even tried uninstalling the most recent windows updates.

    Any thoughts?
