    Hello! My high end laptop, which have been able to play games really well for the past years suddenly stopped using its RTX 3060 0% on task manager while the cpu is at 100%. What should I do?

    100% CPU and GPU usage

    Everything was fine until yesterday. Today it started with 100% CPU and GPU usage in Apex Legends. Upon further checks, its happening in all the games - Rainbow 6, GTA V. I do have a very strong feeling that it has something to do with windows, as we all
    have seen 100% CPU usage bug in the past.

    Specifications:

    i5-8600k

    MSI 1060 6GB

    16GB RAM

    GPU at 0% all the time Windows 10

    My GPU always stays at 0% usage

    I have Windows 10 64-bit, and these are my specs:

    • Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU
    • 4096 RAM
    • NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS
      • Driver version: 342.01
    My GPU usage is always at 0% usage, when I play games such as Valorant and also when I don't. For instance, when I'm playing my RAM is at 70%, the CPU at 50-60%, and the GPU at 0%. This problem is driving me crazy and I would really appreciate some help.
    Thanks

    dwm.exe 100% GPU usage GPU 0 - 3D

    Maybe the dwm.exe shows 100% gpu usage because nothing else is using the gpu at the time beside dwm.exe itself, hence the usage, when anything else uses the gpu it shows the real usage(I think)
