I've only recently had this issue where the service is taking up all of my GPU's resources and seriously killing my laptop's performance.

The issue regardless of what I'm doing. Playing a game or working in word, I've already looked around and none of the common solutions have fixed the issue.

I'm running a mid to low spec system:

  • I5 Processor 9th gen.
  • 24GB DDR4 RAM
  • 500GB SSD connected through M.2
  • Nvidia GTX 1650 connected through PCI-e


Attempts to solve it:

  • Lower DWM priority through Task Manager - The service turned itself back up without my knowledge and continued to consume GPU resources.
  • Update apps and drivers - Already done weekly through routine and I've already checked all apps for updates.
  • Reinstall windows - Did that too. shortly after updates came in issue came back.
  • Tried running different games all ran smoothly up until now.


Anybody with advice would greatly be appreciated.
