Fix: High GPU Usage by Client Server Runtime and Desktop Window Manager
Windows users are currently scrambling for a fix to bring down the GPU usage of the Desktop Windows Manager (dwm.exe) and the Client Server Runtime (csrss.exe) processes after installing a pending update. This issue is confirmed to occur on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
Some users complain that a process called Client Server Runtime is showing high GPU usage. The process is consuming 40-50% of the GPU making it really hard for them to run Graphics-intensive programs such as video editing apps and even some games.

In this tutorial, we are going to talk about this issue and see what you can do to fix the high GPU usage caused by Client Server Runtime or csrss.exe.
