Intel iGPU behaving strangely in Premiere Pro 2025
Strange things are going on with my i7 14700K's iGPU in Premiere Pro version 25.
First of all, I've worked in Premiere Pro for ages and I'm used to monitoring my system resources via the Task manager in Windows. There are all kinds of graphs there that can be switched on:

I know that the Video Decode graph shows the iGPU decoding process whereas, as Intel says here, Video Decode 1 shows the encoding despite the name.
It's been so for years and it was convenient.
But now - for some reason these graphs show not what they used to.
When I decode, I see this:

Yes, during decoding my iGPU encodes something which is nonsense. And yes I have nothing being encoded in the background. So either it's a bug somewhere or my CPU lives its own life.
And when I encode, I see this:

3d graph is filled up to 100% (what does 3D graph even mean if there's nothing 3D in my videos), Video Decode has a short spike desite there's nothing being decoded at that moment, and Video Decode 1 which is essentially the encode graph is empty.
Someone please explain.
PS: Microsoft and Intel were sent the same info and questions.
