No pun intended, but your favorite search provider maybe your friend.

For example:  

Search "Applications running on this GPU: searchhost.exe":

SearchHost.exe utilizes dGPU on my laptop and prevents it from - Microsoft Community

or

Search "Applications running on this GPU: armourycrate.exe":

It’s respectable that you asked this question, because you are supposed to tell the computer what to do! Example: If I want to see a cloud, I will get in an airplane!

Anyway, check your startup apps and disable files that you do not require to use upon starting your computer. Example: Microsoft teams, Microsoft Cloud, Microsoft to do, and WS Helper, etc...

I'm not really feeling offended you had right, but you know, somethings are relay easy to search for such as you described above but you simply don't know what to right. Knowing that you might be able to describe more complex issues with simplicity. This was my case in this issue. Anyways, thank you for your response.
