Description
### Which component impacted?
Video Processing
### Is it regression? Good in old configuration?
No, this issue exist a long time
### What happened?
I have an issue with hardware video decoding on Intel Arc A140V integrated graphics.
When playing HEVC (H.265) videos, the CPU usage goes very high (close to 100%) while the GPU video decode graph in Task Manager remains at 0%. It seems the hardware decoder is not being used.
### What's the usage scenario when you are seeing the problem?
Playback
### What impacted?
System details:
Intel 268V
GPU: Intel Arc 140V (integrated)
Driver version: 32.0.101.6881
OS: Windows 11 Pro build 26100.5074
Players tested: VLC, Windows Media Player
Same issue in all players (software decode only).
Steps to reproduce:
Play any HEVC (H.265) video (e.g. 1080p or 4K).
Open Task Manager → Performance → GPU → Video Decode.
GPU decode stays at 0%, CPU load becomes very high.
Expected result:
Video should be decoded by the GPU (hardware acceleration).
Actual result:
Only CPU decoding is happening.
Please check if hardware HEVC decode is properly supported on Arc A140V or if this is a driver issue.
### Debug Information
