Windows 10: Secondary monitor is causing DWM GPU usage spike

Recently after performing a windows update on my laptop "Custom" Origin PC the DWM GPU usage spiked to near 100% all the time. Did some research and checked for malware and those other things but nothing worked. I then accidentally unplugged my second monitor ACER SB220Q and the DWM returned to a normalized usage. Why?

DWM spikes in iGPU Usage (Dell)

For some reason, starting recently, DWM has been spiking my iGPU usage (up to over 80% worst case scenario) and thus bogging down the PC. In addition to very slow performance in games, this creates a wide array of issues like slower window animations. For some reason, this makes the GameDVR Service also spike in GPU usage (both weren’t like this before then). What should I do?

Recently I installed the KB4601382 preview on 10 20H2.

Intel UHD i5-1035G1.

Oh and I’ll add that I am using the OEM Intel gpu drivers (updated just last month to 27.20.100.8681), maybe that could be the issue

DWM acts normal when nothing is happening, it is window sizing and rendering a game that makes it spike in GPU Usage

I’ve been looking into trying to install the Intel drivers (instead of using the OEM drivers) and hoping it works from there, is it a good idea to do that?

Forgot to mention that I have the lappy hooked up to a 1080p monitor

"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.

 

StartMenuExperienceHost.exe causing GPU Usage Spike

Okay so as the title says I have a problem. It would be a completely unnoticeable issue had I not been a gamer. The problem is my GPU is getting a usage spike and through Process Explorer I have tracked the spike down to StartMenuExperienceHost.exe. When
my GPU spikes this is the program that popus up for GPU usage.

The spike is tiny and lasts about a second in length. It takes my framerate of 75 and drops it to 35-40 then it bounces back to normal.

I've spent the past week trying to fix the issue. I've messed with my grapics card settings, Windows settings, in game settings, I've tried under and overclocking my GPU. I've tried everything. Nothing has helped the issue. I even thought I'd have to RMA
my card but I don't think it's the card having the issue. I'm fairly certain that if I could kill the start menu until I open it up again that the problem would be solved.
