Brief description of the issue:
There seems to be some significant performance issues with GPU usage, especially so during and after VR sessions. Even beforehand, just starting up MSFS results in a significant GPU usage rate into the 90% range (RTX 2060). There is literally no reason the GPU should be heavily utilized like this simply entering menus. It’s particular acute after a VR flight session - which in itself requires witchcraft to simply get it working. While we can understand high GPU (100% at times) usage during the game, after the VR session, the GPU is literally pegged at 100% doing absolutely nothing but sitting in a menu. When flying in VR it flatlines at 100%. No other game I have does this (COD, BF2042), nor even in X-Plane 11’s VR environment. I expect peaks and troughs in the performance but not flatlining. I realize MSFS has a lot more visual detail going on, however to have this occur in a MENU doing nothing suggests poor coding performance and/or potentially a race condition occurring.

Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Open MSFS - sit in menu and monitor GPU. Watch for very high utilization doing nothing. Start a VR session (if you can even get it working the first time around) and then exit back to menu. Watch GPU peg at 100%
