Windows 10: Sudden Spikes in Desktop Window Manager GPU Usage Even though I'm Not using my laptop Help

Hi, I'm using Dell xps 13 9360 and I'm on windows 10 Insider Preview V20206.rs. Ever Since I update my windows to this version my gpu usage by desktop window manager is really high, sudden spikes in usage like 75-90% even though I'm not using any apps. I couldn't uninstall the update cause I did another update where it install some update related to .net frameworks. I did try uninstalling this .net framework update but nothing changed. I can't Re-install windows cause they is a lot of important stuff. Somebody please help cant run more than two apps. If i do i see a lot of lag.

Lag Spikes caused by CPU usage drops and GPU usage spikes after Windows 10 April update

Since the April 10th update for Windows 10, my laptop has been suffering from lag spikes that occur during simple tasks such as browsing the internet.

When looking at the task manager during these spikes, I can see that the CPU usage drops to around 10% while the GPU usage increases to close to 100%. I looked at what programs were using large portions of the GPU which turned out to be the 'Desktop window
manager' and the 'Client server runtime process'.

I've seen that other people have had a similar problem with the recent update, but not much in the way of solutions as of yet. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Jason

 

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.

Asrock Phantom Gaming X RX 570 8gb

G.Skill Trident RGB 16GB DDR4 3600

MSI B450 Gaming Plus Motherboard

Corsair CX550 PSU
