window desktop manager is using high CPU

[toastdude123]

I have just started to get high CPU usage from window desktop manager and it had never done it before, when ever i watch a live stream it jumped up to 25% usage, then when ever I live stream it used 25% also, I don't encode with my CPU I use my GPU for the encoding of the live stream (nvidia nvenc), about 4 weeks ago I could live stream and only use 10% of my CPU with out a game running, not it runs 25% with out a game running. Sometimes it jumps up to 50% usage of my CPU

 

 

LOOK IN PROFILE FOR SPECS

Isnt that how its supposed to work?

No, The nvidia nvenc (GPU) does all the coding and the CPU does very little (10%)

Have you let it sit on it's own for a couple hours and come back to it?

What about quitting the process (if you can)? Does it cause issues? Does it immediately start working again?

I have let it sit all night and nothing happened, I have tried quitting the process and it boots right back up again.

I'm out of ideas.... sorry.

It's ok, can you try to get someone that might have some ideas, now when I am skyping it uses 30% of my CPU, something is not right

Only 30% when Skyping? Video or text chat/calling?

Under load with video chat puts my Core 2 Quad at around 50%...

Anyway, I'll tag somebody that might be able to help you... Hmmm.

This guy needs help. I'm out of brain power at the moment.

I can certainly try.

 

Have you downloaded anything new in the time frame from when it was 10% to now? Maybe you got a CPU hog on your hands. Can you think of anything?

Right click on that '' desktop window manager' click on file location. If it's not in system 32 , try to get rid of it.

[SSOB]

I would also run a malmwarebytes scan and download AVG free antivirus and run a scan on that one too. It looks like somebody is mining coins on the cost of your CPU.

I will let you know how it goes, it will only be about 10 mins, I have a ssd so it should be fast, I have AVG and malwarebytes, I will give it a run

Did you solve the problem? I've got the same problem since I use the music-app in Win 8.1 ..

What i did was get a USB flash drive and Created a bootable windows USB stick. Boot into the USB stick. Click on ''repair my computer'' ( After you have selected the keyboard and language input.) Then you can click on automatic repair.

So that will use the windows files to check if any are missing in your installation? I might try that.
