On my i5-11400 RTX 3090 system if I run Microsoft Solitaire my RTX 3090 goes to 100%. What is happenning?

All drivers are up to date and Windows 10 is fully patched and up to date.

No seriously. Have you rebooted?

Just for you, I'll try it again.

Have you Googled it?

Heh. Yes. And there's nothing beyond the usual reinstall crap when this is a fresh install.

Place your bets ! Op hasn’t even shown us graphs of their 100% adventure.

Okay, it was over 70% just now, not 100%

And two CPU cores at 100% too!

Running Process Explorer it seems ucrtbase.dll and nvwgf2umx.dll are the problem.

Looks like that did the trick. Of course, it bollixed everything else

so I grabbed a combo pack of all the VC++ redists from TechPowerup and it's still working.

Take a bow!

By the way I just Googled the answer I had no idea that would fix it.

Your search-fu is clearly superior to mine.
