Visual Basic Command Line Compiler Running at 100% GPU

Recently the Visual Basic Command Line Compiler is running at 100% GPU as you can see in the screenshot of task manager bellow.

If i end the task it will appear again and running at 100%, how i can solve this? Because if i open a game that requires GPU my PC bluescreens.

What is causing this? Is it the Windows 11?

My GPU is a RTX 2060

I suggest you perform a full scan on your computer for malware. Anything that consumes that much GPU usage can easily be a bitcoin miner. You can use software like process explorer to see what the parent process of this Visual Basic Command Line Compiler is. Alternatively, you can right-click on the entry and select "open file location". From there you can see where the exe (usually vbc.exe) is on your computer. If it is in an odd location or has an odd name, you could try renaming or deleting it while in safe mode then reboot into normal mode. If this actually breaks something else you can always revert to a backed up copy of the file.
