The problem is very simple and mainly affects NVIDIA GPU users. Although the problem and the solution may be the same even if you have another brand.
Is it the window manager’s fault?
I guess you already realize what is the process that slows down your computer when you open the task manager. It is something very annoying and can cause us many headaches, especially when it is not an application that we can uninstall, but rather something internal to the operating system itself that we cannot remove, only repair. The problem is, who is to blame?
Well, the cause of all this is neither more nor less than the graphics card itself, not Windows or any of its internal programs.
Most of the reports are from computers with NVIDIA-branded GPUs and precisely very similar models and updates.
The solution?
It’s too easy a task find the latest driver for our graphics card and update it. The problems will disappear, and it’s that everything comes from a version of Windows with a conflict with the drivers of many cards, therefore NVIDIA and other companies had to launch a new version that solves it, and that, if you don’t have it, since doing it automatically, chances are you’re still waiting and that’s why you’re getting this error.
99% of the problems with the GPU concerning a process do not come from the process itself, but from the graphics card itself. If this is not resolved, the component may be damaged. The easiest way to find out is to roll back to a previous Windows update where everything worked fine, or directly reformat the computer with a clean operating system. If in this case everything is still wrong, I have bad news, the problem was not software but hardware.
Where to download the drivers?
If, like most people who have reported this issue, you have a Nvidiayou will only have to access this web page, select your card type and download the driver it will show you.
If, on the other hand, you have one of the brand AMDit will be enough to go here, and to go down a little on the web where we will see a box to mark the model of card which we have.
Once installed, we must restart the computer and the problem should have been solved.
There are also many programs that check for updates for all sorts of drivers and keep them up to date, avoiding not only problems like this, but any others that may arise due to not updating a other component.
So now that you know… run to fix the problem and enjoy your computer at 100% again, but with performance!
