Windows 10: what the hell is the problem with dwm.exe

Hey lads so I have a Gaming Laptop and there's been a problem bugging me since i've had it. its the fact that dwm.exe is constantly chugging 50% of my cpu and gpu. This results in my laptop being terrible at running games getting about 60-70fps in CS:GO. Microsoft support was useless as hell. So i have come to the well of knowledge known as reddit for help. My specs for my laptop are as follows

RTX 2060 MaxQ

Intel i7 9750H32GB RAM 2.6Ghz

If anyone has any insight into the issue on why it's running so poorly please do let me know. thanks

Edit 1 - I realized its when I plug my Monitor in, dwm.exe flares up to 50%

I don't know if it is even possible to disable DWM and still have Windows working normally but I found a list of solutions that can solve problems related to DWM:

I found this link

What is dwm.exe and why is it using so much memory?

With this note: "The steps below only work for Windows Vista and Windows 7. Desktop Windows Manager is not displayed in the Services window on Windows 8 and Windows 10, and therefore cannot be turned off or disabled."

These links have suggestions for improving performance:

I would start here:

That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

I suggest Option 1 is easier.

If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.
