Client Server Runtime Process and Desktop Window Manager using GPU?

[Mark Kaine]

Funny enough I know exactly when it started, but I can't make any sense of it... I've been setting a custom fan curve in Afterburner, so it would start spinning fans at 45C since my GPU always idles around 40C... Anyway I kind of forgot about it and half an hour later I noticed my fans were spinning really fast and it was the GPU fans... temp almost 50C... for no apparent reason... 

 

So I check taskmanager and, those two processes running happily using my GPU... under 1% mind you but obviously enough to make it run a lot hotter than it should. 

And the kicker is as soon I move my mouse a little it goes up to around 15% usage...??  

 

Thats certainly not normal or good... I can find tons of people with the same issue, but no fix apparently. I tried updating windows but that was pointless because it's still doing it, constantly... 

 

Any ideas how to fix this and why it happens? 

 

When doing nothing:

 

When moving my mouse:

 

These are the processes, or at least two of them ... I understand they need to be running, but certainly don't need to constantly use up my GPU? never had this issue before either... 

 

 

PS: just checked the GPU "idle" temp is now really +5C more... at 45C, because it's not really idling anymore obviously... I really hope there's a solution.
