Try this:

Download the latest drivers for both your Intel and Nvidia chip:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/product/88345/Intel-HD-Graphics-530

https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx

Once the downloads are done, uninstall both the Intel and the Nvidia drivers from your computer through. If asked, make sure to delete all settings.

Then restart your PC and install the two drivers which you have downloaded previously, start with the Intel and then install the Nvidia drivers. Then restart your PC.

Open up the Nvidia control panel and in the "Manage 3D settings" option try setting wallpaper32.exe to "High performance" mode like in this screenshot: https://i.stack.imgur.com/qeQAq.png Restart Wallpaper Engine if it was already running. If that does not work, try using the "Integrated graphics" option and see if that's better on your system.

Hey, if you are unfamiliar, I would recommend this tool for you: https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

I did it. I uninstalled all nvidia and intel graphics drivers. And I've downloaded from their sites in the right way. But the wallpaper engine still uses 80% gpu. What should i do.

Did you try both the "High Performance" or "Integrated Graphics" options in the Nvidia drivers? You may need to restart Wallpaper Engine in between giving those a try.

Oh yes i did it. But the problem still persists.

Could you run the scan tool and share the log file one more time?

Okey one minute.

Okay, so what's super weird is that your Wallpaper Engine has been launched by 3 users (MSI, arasy and defaultuser100000) and that already sounds super weird to me, so something is really weird about your Windows.

Can you open up task manager, sort by GPU usage and then take a screenshot that shows exactly what's using your GPU?
