    dwm.exe taking 100% GPU


    Desktop Window Manager takes about 90%+ GPU with no windows open and a fresh install of Windows 11. Guides on YT aren't helping either. Also all USB ports end up turning off and on at random times, not sure if the power all being pushed to the GPU is the case RTX 3060 Ti, multiple GPU's tested and have similar issues
