I know many they have been many discussions about the "system using high CPU" already and I have been trying to solve this problem on my Dell XPS 15 9510 with an NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti ( relevant for later) using many solutions from users and I have concluded using Windows Performance Analyser that the process using all that power was "Nvlddmkm.sys", so I tried reinstalling the driver but it doesn't work.

Then I tried messing with the NVIDIA Control Panel and found out the weirdest thing:

When I'm at idle, no apps running, system is using 8-20% of CPU usage killing my battery life But when I simply open the NVIDIA control panel and Select the "Adjust image setting with preview" page, system goes down on the task manager to about 0.1% of CPU usage and my battery life is back to normal ! It doesn't work on any other page of the NVIDIA Control Panel.

I'm running windows 11, with an Intel i7 11800H 2.30GHz , NVIDIA RTX 3050 Ti graphics card, 16gb of ram.

Do you have any idea why that is how i could fix this issue (without having to open the NVIDIA control panel all the time) ?

This EXACT same issue occured on my Laptop 2 days ago, even with the CPU usage going down when being tabbed into the NVIDIA control panel, and the Nvlddmkm.sys being the main problem.

After a lot of simply trying things, just disabling the ingame overlay in the GeForce Experience settings solved it for me.

The CPU usage from "System" is now Back to >1%.
