    Another Windows 11 bug is causing headaches for Nvidia GPU owners

    Description:
    Nvidia GPU owners are reporting a new Task Manager-related visual bug in Windows 11 22H2.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Another week, another Windows 11 22H2 bug and once again its Nvidia graphics cards bearing the brunt of the issues.

    After an update-induced frame rate problem was recently patched by Nvidia, Reddit users are now reporting yet more performance-related issues and a quirky new bug that inverts the 3D readings for Nvidia GPUs in Task Manager (H/T Neowin ).

    Idle graphics cards are showing close to 100% usage in Task Manager despite ticking over at perfectly cool temperatures, leaving users at best confused and at worst terrified for the wellbeing of their pricey GPUs.

    The good news is that the bug is indeed a bug if your readings are being affected, theres nothing wrong with your Nvidia graphics card. It looks like the issue is affecting older-generation cards, too, as well as the shiny new Nvidia Lovelace RTX 4000 series of GPUs (which, to be fair, only currently includes the RTX 4090 ).

    Some users have suggested turning off GPU Hardware Scheduling under GPU Settings in Windows to get rid of the frustrating visual quirk, and while
    this tactic would work, wed suggest leaving the feature enabled as its not actually doing any harm to your graphics card.

    Its not yet clear whether the issue is arising due to a fault in Windows 11 22H2 or Nvidias own driver update (522.25), but in any case, the safest
    course of action is to wait until either party rolls out a fix.
