So I started to notice instability in a few of my games, like they would sometimes crash (no fps drops or spikes). I was pretty certain that I had a crypto currency miner, because that happened to me before, so I used task manager to investigate. It turns out that the processes 'Desktop Window Manager' and 'Client service runtime Process' both seem to be using 0.1% gpu when my mouse is idle, and the usage can spike over 5% when I'm moving tabs and mouse around my screen a lot. they also seem to use around 5% of my cpu when my mouse isn't moving. I'm pretty sure that that's not normal or is it? I actually got a factory reset of windows and those are my observations on the factory reset. Anyone have any suggestions... thanks

Those processes are responsible for you seeing everything on your desktop. So yes, they should be using 0.1% when doing nothing and a bit more when dragging windows around.

Ok thanks, just haven't really noticed it before. I guess I just noticed it with a recent instability in a game, so I probably got suspicious.
