Wallpaper Engine using 100% GPU?

[Femboy Kae ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚]

Am I the only one experiencing this? I've never had a performance issue until today. Just randomly (not even an hour ago) I was starting to experience my computer bugging thinking I was having hardware problems, I checked my task manager to see if it was anything else and it turned out to be Wallpaper Engine using 100% of my GPU. I've used the same wallpapers for a while now, and I haven't even opened it up since. Does anyone know why this might happen? (And just to be clear, I have loaded the software without wallpapers in use, and I even verified the files but the problem still occurs.)

Please share this log with us and a URL to the wallpaper you are/were using when the issue occurs: https://help.wallpaperengine.io/debug/scantool.html

In general this sounds like a driver malfunction. 100% usage can occur when the driver is non-stop resetting itself or when you have no free video memory left. Some software (mostly just Adobe Lightroom) seems to block all of your video memory which makes the driver rapidly reset other programs that try to use the graphics card.

Such an issue can be resolved with an application rule so that the other program can block all graphics memory and Wallpaper Engine won't try to run while such a program is running.

This is especially strange since Wallpaper Engine will not initialize any graphics or videos devices unless a wallpaper is active.

Thanks for sending the log. Please try disabling the LED plugin in Wallpaper Engine and also disable the Nahimic overlay (or uninstall Nahimic if that's not possible).

Does that make any difference?

I also notice that there are regular graphics driver crashes, but they are not very frequent, just regular over weeks/months. Perhaps try reinstalling the Nvidia drivers with a "clean installation" in case the instability is caused by any experimental Nvidia features that may be enabled.

Thanks so much, everything works just fine now, you're a genius.
