Windows 10: Igpu

I wonder if my system has built in GPU since my mainboard has hdmi and dvi ports ? I can't find
any infos or driver for it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's not a software related issue which is why I was suggesting that you remove the video card to start with since it's such an easy process of elimination step.

I'm not familiar with AMD CPUs, I did see that you had listed in your system specs but I had no idea whether or not it has an iGPU

Is there any possibility of you being able to get your hands on any compatible video card at all?it would be the easiest step to try to troubleshoot or at least one of the easier ones. You should be able to get into the bios without anything but A display cable hooked up to the motherboard

 

System settings app,Display settings app, Microsoft store app close/crash on startup (desk.cpl)

Found the solution myself.

Did 3 steps so either of these fixed it.

1. Reseated RAM
2. Noticed the IGPU memory settings were accessible while having PEG enabled ('Enabled IGPU, boot up, shutdown, Disabled IGPU, now all iGPU mentions were gone from BIOS) -->Monitors now show the BIOS splashscreen again aswell
3. Bootorder was on UEFI and legacy--> Put it on UEFI only.

After 1 (of more of these steps) all issues were gone, including the weird Vista boot animation.

Considering that System settings were accessible in safe mode my bet would be that the 'glitched' setting for the GPU's caused Settings to be misbehaving.

 

DWM spikes in iGPU Usage (Dell)

"it is window sizing and rendering a game that makes it spike in GPU Usage"

That is normal, nothing is wrong. The whole point of having a iGPU or GPU is that it is used when required.

Obviously the more complex the Window that is resized will mean a greater spike.

Most games are designed for Nvidia or AMD graphics chipsets rather than iGPUs. The minimum requirements are usually listed for those, however in almost all cases an iGPU can be used with no problem other than a reduced performance.

It does not matter about the version of your driver.
