Lately, it appears very often that the Windows-Process called Desktop Window Manager (dwm.exe) uses up to 60% of my GPU (GPU0 - 3D). IT IS NOT a fake program nor a virus, I checked that.
I am using the latest version of Windows 11 on an Acer Aspire 5 and have an extending second monitor connected to my Laptop. The pre-installed graphics card is an Intel Iris Xe.
Of course, I looked the problem up on the internet, but that only gave various solutions for Windows 10 users.
I tried to:
- System check
- Update drivers
- Reload GPU driver
But nothing worked. Is there anything I can do to solve this performance issue?

Intel patched this issue with the release of their 30.0.101.1191 display drivers. The issue you describe affected Intel's 6th generation through 10th generation processors.
