Hi,

I have a Plex server on a Windows 11, intel i7-1165g7 NUC, 64gb DDR 3200 ram. I have noted that it has suddenly stopped using the iGPU to transcode any media.

I have tried restarting everything, tried changing the transcoder from Auto \> Iris XE and back again to no avail.

My little NUC sounds like it is trying to take off as the fan tries to keep it cool from CPU doing the transcoding.
