dwm.exe high gpu usage

LT_art

the dwm (desktop window manger) is taking all of my GPU. Im using a PC without a gpu, soo , it's using the intel i5-10400 , with 16Gigs of ram. I have pretty much tried everything, my drivers are also up to date.

soo, im just confused on what to do rn

The Windows desktop uses the GPU to accelerate drawing windows etc. So using the GPU while the desktop is in the foreground is normal behavior. Not sure how much usage is normal, but you need to keep in mind that an iGPU is rather weak, so the desktop putting more load on it as compared to a dGPU is expected. It should drop to zero when something else (e.g. game) is in the foreground.
