Windows 10: Runtime Broker using 100% of my GPU

Suddenly since yesterday I've been getting 100% of my GPU being used by Runtime Broker.

If i close it, my PC freezes and my monitor turns black for a second. It also crashes any games I'm running (In this case, Overwatch will say "The rendering device has been lost")

It also reopens randomly after ending the process

I'm using a GTX 1070 and an i7 9700k. I'm not sure what's causing this since I don't really have any new software I've installed.

Runtime Broker Parameters

Hi,

Thank you for using Windows 10.

I would like to inform you that Runtime Broker is a Windows process in Task Manager that helps manage permissions on your PC for apps from Windows Store. It should only use a few megabytes of memory, but in some cases, a faulty app might cause Runtime Broker to
use up to a gigabyte of RAM or more.

If your RAM use is high and your PC is running slowly, an app may be the cause of the problem. If it’s using more than 15% of your memory, you probably have an issue with an app on your PC. To stop Runtime Broker from using so much memory, select
Runtime Broker in the list, select End task to close Runtime Broker, and then restart your computer.

• Let us know which all apps are open at the moment when you see the memory high.

I would suggest you to run the System maintenance troubleshooter and check if it helps.

Follow the steps:

a: Press the
Windows key and click on Settings.

b: Type Troubleshooting
and select troubleshooting.

c. Click View all on the left pane of the screen.

d: Click on
System maintenance.

e: Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

You may also try setting the priority of the service as low and check. Here is the steps:

• Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC
  or Right click on task bar and select Task manager.
• Go to Details tab.
• Locate Runtimebroker.exe and right click on that, click on
  Set priority, choose low from the drop down menu.
• Click on Change priority.

To make sure your system is not affected, you may also run Windows Defender and check.

You may run Offline defender also. See the link:
Help protect my PC with Microsoft Defender Offline

Disclaimer: Data or files which are infected by malware/virus might be beyond cleaning and have to be deleted entirely to maintain the integrity of your system, which means there might be a potential for data loss.

Hope it helps. Let us know if you need more information and we'll be happy to assist.

Have a great day.
