Hello, Your task manager displays the Desktop Window Manager using full GPU at times. I attempted to resolve this by using DDU, updating drivers, running a Windows update, checking for corrupted files, and performing an Avira full system scan. What bothers me is that the MSI afterburner doesn’t reflect this usage—it only shows 1% or 2% GPU utilization. Is this a concern? If yes, what steps can I take to address it?

If needed, you can set up the identical driver version, but if it repeats, switch to an updated driver version.

Typical issue with recent Nvidia drivers and new Windows releases is the same. The GPU runs on Windows even at maximum usage, but the card isn't being charged properly. Using GPU-Z will show idle power consumption. When you start a game, performance returns to normal. No major concerns here.
