    How do I stop DWM from using GPU?


    Oh man, this thing has going me insane. While playing media the GPU usage of DWM just spikes up leaving me to watch the video with lag and stutter. I've tried fixes like lowering the priority or turning of windows transparency. There's no answer at Microsoft forum too unfortunately. Also this thing happens only when the laptop is charging, while not, it's just smooth and good. As soon as I plug in charging the GPU usage of DWM spikes up to 60-70%. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    How do I stop DWM from using GPU?

    Desktop Window Manager High GPU Usage in Windows 10

    Tried your registry trick long ago, back when you posted it, and it did nothing for the DWM problem on any of the computers the lab or my office.

    DWM still unexplainably begin to occasionally work over the GPU in the back ground regardless of running or not running any Programs/Apps. No noticeable patterns to link the problem to any Program/App or activity.

    As for DWM using GPU when play vids, yes very much expected. But after closing Vid program I would also expect DWM usage of GPU to go back down to under 5%, instead of increasing GPU usage to over 50%.

    Tried just about every tweak and trick here to get DWM to stay normal (under 5% GPU usage with 20% spikes), but randomly DWM usage of GPU jumps up to 25% to 60% with spikes of 100% regardless of running any program “or” starting up computer letting it idle
    while I go work in studio lab.

    Only thing that helps is saving any work and closing any programs I was using (If I was running anything), than cold reboot Windows OS to get DWM usage of GPU down.

    The DWM problem is so bad and gave up on Microsoft even caring to about our problem. I installed a 2nd Hard Drive with windows 7 OS (using Mother Board Bios to switch which OS hard drive will Boot) to run all important work without having to occasionally
    save and cold reboot system.
