    Task manager is not a good way to monitor GPU activity while rendering, at least in its default view. You need to tell it to display CUDA activity.

    The log will tell you if it's used (Help->Troubleshooting->View Log File)

    Enable More Details (bottom-left), go to the Perfomance tab, select the GPU on the elft, and then click the menu button on one of the graphs to change what it shows to CUDA

    Windows 11, probably. That's about what I see, too.

    One can always use a 3rd party application, e.g. AnVir Task Manager. It is free, and can be run as a portable app.
