High GPU consumption by the desktop window manager

I've noticed for a while now that the desktop window manager uses a lot of the graphics card, no matter if it's a GTX 1080 or an RTX 3060. I've been digging the internet for 2 days looking for a solution but nothing helps. Maybe someone here can help me?

Attached a screenshot where at the time of taking it, the only things enabled were origin and obs.

For a start, have you tried uninstalling all graphics drivers using, for example, DDU and reinstalling?

Yes. There was also a format done (restoring the system to factory settings) and it didn't help.

Attach the logs from FRST, from the scan (addition and frst.txt).

Run any game and show how it looks then

FRST scan and addition. From what you have provided I understand to change the power management mode in the NVIDIA panel from normal to "prefer maximum performance"?

Generally the funniest thing is that it all started probably with the release of FIFA 23 and when I just have it running suddenly the graphics consumption is supposedly 0% in other games like ets2 the graphics consumption is normal by the game the largest and this window manager does not go crazy. There in this link above someone also wrote about the high use of the GPU by OBS in me also occurs when I want to record FIFA 23 .

In my opinion, there is nothing to worry about. Can you still check the GPU clocking when you have a high load through the manager and then when it is low?

Do a scan with mbam and adwcleaner and remove what they detect.

Next to frst.exe, create a Fixlist.txt file with the following contents:

In FRST, select Repair.

As for the load, nothing interesting to see in the logs. Install updates to the system, latest drivers for the card.

I did this fix in FRST. Graphics drivers latest uploaded 517. Windows Update didn't show any available updates either. I scanned the system today with Malwarebytes, nothing detected. But I will still scan with these programs what you provided

Please screenshots of browser, FIFA 23 game itself and FIFA 23 enabled OBS

I am also sending a picture of what Adwcleaner detected
.

Remove what it detects, it has no connection to the manager.

Generally OBS will put a strain on the GPU especially when using streaming, encoding etc. You can disable it for testing and see if GPU usage drops. In my case without OBS it is +/- 0.7 - 1.1% and when it is turned on it is no longer and increases up to several %.

And I am surprised by the things that are on the screenshots. Don't you think the values indicated are strange to say the least?

Are you talking here about GPU consumption by the window manager in your case when you have OBS enabled? It is not normal in my opinion that with a graphics card that supposedly has a separate "chip" for streaming or recording while just previewing and doing nothing together with the window manager consumes 40% of the graphics card in 3D calculations. The problem still remains unresolved, can trying to update the BIOS (if after checking it turns out not to be the latest) help anything in this case?

I'm not sure, but I think something this program from Palit refreshes poorly, yesterday I opened the performance tab in GeForce Experience and while just playing graphics consumption was jumping around 50-75% clocks 1750 temperature 60 a few degrees, when I opened anything else, even a browser then the window manager came into action graphics consumption under 100% and boosting the clock to 1950

As far as I'm concerned this is all strange. Are you sure you have the latest available drivers on Nvidia installed?

That's what the Nvidia GeForce Experience tells me .

And which GPU is this process using? Expand the tab in the task manager to see the details. Do you have any integrated graphics there? What do you have in the "Display adapters" tab in device manager?
Give the full configuration of your computer. Also post a screenshot of the "Sensors" tab from HWinfo.

Please, here are the screenshots

Regarding the extension of the task manager, is this what you meant?

Still a window of sensors from HWInfo, but we probably won't learn anything interesting

Please

Guys I found a solution on reddit, it worked for me and the commenters (my laptop with a 3060 and this problem was causing the laptop to be noisy)

https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comment...ktop_window_manager_high_gpu_usage_whats_the/

"Open Settings -> Display -> Graphics and click on "Change Default Graphics Settings", then disable Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling and restart your PC. Had the same issue with my 3080 on the new driver and this solved it"

I've had this problem since yesterday because a system update removed my graphics card drivers. Reinstalling the drivers resolved the problem.
