It sounds like a motorbike throttling up and down. very very annoying. I’ve scanned with MalwareBytes, nothing. I’ve updated my drivers and this is still happening. I’ve even underclocked and undervolted my graphics card and set it into a low power mode to try and stifle the usage but to no avail.
is there any way I can literally force the 3D usage down while my computer is idle? My computer isn’t running any program that uses 3D models right now. but it’s like my GPU thinks it’s running some 3D game. hella weird
edit it’s not the fan making the noise either, I’ve manually activated the fan to see if the fan is causing the noise, and it’s a separate nose to the one annoying me. the noise I’m hearing is a more grind-y noise like a motorbike or propeller airplane that keeps going in and out
Then you forgot the /s
Editing the registry, using a debloater, I can think of a few things. Even downgrading/reinstalling Windows could be an option.
Your blanket “remove windows” solution is just trolling at this point
I am fine with that. I personally just don’t see the point of fiddling with your os every time the vendor fucks up. I would just live with it or ditch it completely.
And yes, ans /s would have helped
I can use your “fiddling with your os” as an argument against Linux too. Driver changes, software updates, software in general can cause ANY OS to require fiddling with to get back to operational.
EXACTLY! If i would experience such issues on my daily drivers i would reconsdier my choices. Thw question is, this it bother one enough to change things.
And: i didn’t need to fiddle anything on my Systems to get them (bsck) to running in the last 10 years. That may not always be the case, especially on Laptops. Now we start fiddling to keep Windows running on slightly oder Hardware. So as always, it depends
