I'm relatively new to blender, and I'm just starting to get the feel for things.

Right now, I'm trying to render a scene of a glass, and I'm trying to use my gpu. Whenever I try to render it, however, it uses my cpu, rather than my gpu, even when under preferences I have checked "HIP - AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics" and my cpu is unchecked. I've heard that task manager uses a different way to measure usage, and often times it shows up wrong, so I used AMD software, and in there my gpu usage did not go up, but my cpu immediately shot to 100%, indicating to me that the CPU us being used. Any Help?

System Settings: i5 - 11600K, RX 6600

i had the same issue and it seemed to be a bug. my fix was to open the preferences window and literally move/drag the preferences window a little, that updated the window and reflected the options i have picked including using "GPU".
