When does Windows 10 use CPU or GPU for GUI?
In Windows 7, Aero GPU offload is enabled by default, but also can be disabled by using "basic" theme.
I've heard Windows 10 will enable all effects on default, even without supported GPU, and will use CPU to render them.
Q1: How to know whether CPU or GPU is being used to render the GUI?
Q2: Is it possible to force using CPU for rendering GUI?
