Why mstsc.exe shows up in graphics settings?
leaving aside the jokes that the only virus here is league of legends, is it normal what is proposed in the title?

No worries. It's enabled by default on Windows 11 now
That's weird, if you don't need it you can uninstall it.
Mstsc.exe is the executable for Remote Desktop Connection in Windows. When you use Remote Desktop to connect to another computer, mstsc.exe runs in the background, and because remote sessions can sometimes leverage hardware acceleration or specific graphics features, Windows might list it under graphics settings or GPU processes.
Remove mstsc.exe from the graphics settings, or update the remote desktop software.
