Windows 10: GPU jumps straight to 100% and laggy gameplay

Can someone please help me, I launched a game on my PC and it was super laggy so I launched Task Manager and I saw that the GPU usage was at 100%. Usually the game would be within 40% to 50% and running at 60fps, also have nothing else running.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

 

cannot turn off jump list

Hi Rohit,

To address this concern, we suggest that you follow these steps on how to turn off the Jump Lists on Windows 10:

• Go to Start menu, search Settings, then press
  Enter.
• Click Personalization.
• Select Start.
• Turn off the Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or taskbar.

Let us know how it goes.

Regards.

 

Cripplingly High GPU in Windows 10

A few weeks ago my Windows experience began to severely degrade. Moving Windows around is laggy and jerk and you can see even text entry is delayed. Using Task Manager shows that my GPU is between 80% and 100%. All other metrics are low - CPU, network,
memory and disk. The issue is usually exacerbated when using a browser - Edge, Firefox and Chrome all behave in a similar manner.
When quitting the brower, the issue remains. I'm curently running one app (Evernote) and the GPU is at 100%
The PC was running well aand I didn't install or update anything special to trigger the problem.
Specs
Windows 10 64bit
i7-5500 2.4Ghz
16Gb RAM
Output is via HDMI to monitor 1 and mini-HDMI to monitor 2
Steps I have taken to resolve this:

• Reinstall of Windows
  
• Reinstall/Repair of Windows
  
• Uninstall graphics driver - some performance improvement however GPU usage remains high and on reboot, the driver is reinstalled. Also, I cannot use both screens.
  
• Installation of an older, beta graphics driver
  
• Shouting angrily
  
• Turning off hardware acceleration in the browser
