MicrosoftThis is also very interesting, not sure how Excel uses the native Windows GPU Acceleration but for Teams, it's a Chromium software based GPU acceleration that triggers based off the platform (Electron) so there could be something flagging here. We saw something in the past that this can be caused (this being multiple apps triggering high GPU acceleration) due to some performance implications on the device like Xbox Game Bar being enabled (it thinks Teams is a game in this case).
