I've noticed Windows 10 processes using my GPU, I'm sure some of it is for managing the desktop GUI, but why would Search need it?
I've noted the following processes posting GPU usage figures (i.e. for GPU 0 - 3D):
Start,
Windows Shell Experience Host
Client Server Runtime Process
Desktop Window Manager
Search
Do all those processes actually NEED access to the GPU to do whatever the hell they're doing with it? Will these processes continue using my GPU even if I have a game loaded (so undermining the perf. of the game)? Could MS be doing cryto-mining using my GPU?
I've managed to get firefox to stop abusing my GPU, it doesn't need to jack my 1080ti up to 2000Mhz. when it's not being actively cooled.
It's incredible how many processes windows 10 loads up relative to say, windows XP Pro.
