GPU usage rate has dropped to 0% on Windows 10

My Windows 10 system where the GPU usage rate suddenly drops to 0%, even when running applications that should be utilizing the graphics card. This causes poor performance and lag in graphics-intensive programs, and the problem seems to occur randomly without any clear pattern or specific trigger.

    Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to monitor background processes that might interfere or limit GPU usage.
