Windows 10: High GPU Usage thanks to "AddinProcess.exe"

Hello,Recently I have noticed that my GPU is always at 100%, and that it never goes down there, even when I am only on the desktop without playing anything, it continues to be used.Today I checked the Task Manager and realized that a process called "AddinProcess.exe" was using my entire GPU, and I found it curious.I would like to know if there is a solution for this, or what the problem may be.Beforehand thank you very much.

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.

 

Desktop Windows Manager high GPU usage persists

Several individuals have reported Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) using unrealistic amounts of GPU for video playback, gaming, or any high graphics intensive activity. Here is a list of just a few of the many requests for support on this issue:

Example 1

Example 2

Example 3

Example 4

Example 5

It has been a few years now that this problem has been reported, are there any accepted fixes. From what I gather, even those individuals with serious graphics cards are vulnerable to dwm.exe dominating their available GPU. I myself report this issue, even
on games and design software with the settings at a minimum. For example, Java will be using ~45% of the available GPU, whereas dwm.exe takes up the remaining ~55%. As stated previously, the result is the entire system halting, not just the game. The mouse
will take a few seconds to stutter across the screen, and task manager will take 5+ seconds to even appear.

There have been many suggestions and no results. Is that Microsoft's consensus then? Thank you ahead of time.

 

High Gpu Usage by "cssrs.exe" and "dwm.exe"

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are facing issues with high GPU usage on your PC, and I certainly appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve the issue by following certain troubleshooting steps.



One of the things that I can suggest is performing a Clean Boot on your PC and see if the issue persists. Refer the article

How to perform a clean boot in Windows



Performing a clean boot will start the computer with minimal set of drivers and programs, to determine whether a background program is causing the issue. Some of the Startup programs will not load after performing a clean boot on the computer.
However, that functionality will return when you reset the computer to start normally after finishing the troubleshooting.



If the GPU usage is normal after performing Clean Boot, then please refer the section
How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot
to identify the root cause of the issue.



Note: Please refer the section
Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting to boot the computer in to normal mode after troubleshooting



Let us know how it goes.
