  1. Idle high GPU usage on Desktop Window Manager and BcastDVRUserService


    This issue started yesterday after installing the latest NVIDIA drivers and Windows Update. Upon boot, my PC will fluctuate between approximately 20% and 90% GPU usage on a few different programs, primarily DWM.exe and svchost.exe or Desktop Window Manager and BcastDVRUserService, then after a few minutes it will settle at 50%~ on DWM.exe, then after 1-2 more minutes settle on 50%~ on svchost.exe at 55 Celsius. After searching around online I have noticed this problem to primarily occur on CPUs with Intel UHD 630 graphics which I too have. If anyone has any information as to what could be ca

    High GPU Usage When Idle

    In task manager it says that "Service Host: BcastDVRUserService" is randomly hopping around anywhere from 20-50% GPU usage while idle, and "Desktop Windows Manager" jumps around anywhere from 5-30% usage. My GPU is an RTX 2070 Super if that makes any difference.
    This never was the case until recently, I have no idea if it was something I downloaded but I always make sure I download trusted things. I've tried looking this issue up but it seems people have a problem with high CPU and memory usage instead of GPU, but
    my CPU and memory have been acting perfectly normal. Would really appreciate any help as this is a new pc and it's been giving me a ton of anxiety. Thanks

    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.
