Default Behavior
GraphicsPerfSvc is a Win32 service. In Windows 11 it starts only if the user, an application or another service starts it. When the GraphicsPerfSvc service is started, it logs on as LocalSystem and running in a shared process of svchost.exe. If GraphicsPerfSvc fails to load or initialize, Windows 11 is starting up without warnings, however the error details are being logged.
