[Bug] Process Explorer GPU Usage always shows 0% when Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling is turned On in Windows Settings

When Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling is enabled in the Windows Settings, the GPU Usage graph in Process Explorer always reads 0%. I did not have this problem before switching the setting on.

I see that someone posted about this back in 2021, but I want to bring new attention to the issue since I have discovered a cause for the Process Explorer bug.

    Process Explorer might not be able to capture real-time changes in GPU usage accurately, especially if the timing of data collection doesn't align well with the GPU's scheduling and usage patterns.

    Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling involves changes to the way the GPU interacts with the operating system and applications. If Process Explorer relies on certain APIs or methods to query GPU usage, these might not be updated to account for the changes brought about by Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling.

    Hello there,

    If you suspect this to be a bug the right forum would be to share this to the Microsoft Developer team.

    You can collect the Event logs and share them with the Microsoft team to get this sorted or get an appropriate workaround for this.

    -Download the process monitor tool.

    • Get a dump from the crashing process and share it through the feedback hub.

    Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry, and process/thread activity. You can get the tool from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon

    You can raise feedback to the Microsoft team. The Feedback Hub app lets you tell Microsoft about any problems you run into https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/send-feedback-to-microsoft-with-the-feedback-hub-app-f59187f8-8739-22d6-ba93-f66612949332

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
