This unusual GPU memory issue on Windows 10 requires investigation.
It seems 2004 was also referred to as 20H1. I checked my system and found the Desktop Window Manager running at 3.8% CPU with no GPU activity. Both Client Server Runtime Processes were using minimal CPU, around 0.1%. The driver in question is either 461.09 or 461.40.
It occurred before another user as well (unclear which). Also, please move the mouse quickly—it increases GPU usage to about 10-15% on my PC. It worked with various mice. By the way, what GPU model are you using?
Sure, it makes sense. This seems related to the 3000 series cards, as they never worked with my older GPUs (the 1000 series).
There are several monitors available. Some offer high refresh rates. The 40 C rating isn’t a cause for concern—it might just be a lot of factors at play. Perhaps Ampere heats up more than Pascal, or your cooler design differs. The screenshot displays only about 3% usage. But verify this through a trustworthy method beyond Task Manager, as it tends to misrepresent GPU activity and often fails. Right now my GPU is running at full capacity for several days, yet Task Manager shows under 15%. Use tools like MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z for accurate monitoring. If the idle clocks drop, it means the system is truly idle regardless of Windows’ estimate.
I verified this situation, and it began unexpectedly, which is unusual. What I did was unintentionally enable "bit locker," and it appears to be active now—though I’m unsure if there’s a link. This started around the same time my idle temperatures rose significantly. I didn’t activate bit locker, so I disabled it right after noticing the change.
