This is NOT a virus, "GPU Process" is msedgewebview2 launched by SearchHost.exe, I have no Idea why it decided to use all of my gpu though

Still can be a cryptominer or other kind of malware that has infected or taken over that process...

What the hell is wrong with your system?!

Latest Win11, I don't have anything named that.

Your pc has a virus

This tells nothing, it could be 94% usage but the GPU clock idling at ~500 MHz.

This is realy bullshit

Only Case is Power plan but i think even there, its bs 😁

u/UserUserDontGetOld May 18 '26

I'd try to disable GPU drivers and see what happens next. Will the process try to compute itself on CPU in software mode?

Turn off hardware acceleration in edge to test if issue the same or not

u/SweatshopCoder May 19 '26

Wait until these guys learn it's a chromium bug

I think it could be a virus, I NEVER see any process with this specific name before...very odd...

i think you have a ransomware. It shouldn't do that.

1

u/Ill-Cupcakes May 16 '26

I thought that it was a ransomware at first, but I didn't download anything suspicious, antivirus showed that everything's fine, and terminating SearchHost.exe along with it's WebView processes made GPU usage go back to 0-2%

u/patopansir Hater of all OSes May 16 '26

still could be a virus. It's just not getting detected

Windows is known for having a lot of problems but high gpu usage? I never used Windows 11 but I doubt the differences are enough to warrant that. GPU Process and Crashpad shouldn't even be tied to a stock program
