Dear Acer Community,

I own an Acer Predator Triton 500 PT516-51s-98E0 (Intel Core i9-11900H, NVIDIA RTX 3080).

NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers: 565.90 WHQL.

Recently I have begun experiencing Discrete GPU Usage Peaks, without any applications running on the NVIDIA RTX 3080, nor any display connected to it. This strange behavior seems to uselessly increase the fan speed.

I have tried reverting to previous versions of the NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Drivers or disabling "Hardware-Accelerated GPU Scheduling" on Windows 11, without any success.

The issue seems to have appeared after the installation of Windows Update KB5043145.

Could anyone help me with this, please?
