GPU attributes in Task Manager

Windows 10 Fall Creator Update bring the opportunity to monitor GPU activities in native Task Manager, this is good as you can see which program is using the GPU what portion resource. However, the attributes provided by the Intel HD Graphics 620 (in i5 7200U) is extremely vague, like 'Engine X' or even worse, confusing (How on Earth do I know which 'Video Decode' is working on my YouTube video by only looking at 'Process' tab since both of them are the same name?)

Can someone please clarify each of the attributes?

If possible, can those attributes to be changed into a more user-friendly ways such as 'Video Decode - VP9' or 'Quick Sync Video' (This is the ACTUAL brand name for your video cores)?

Hello skyhound,

Thank you for joining the Graphics Community.

I noticed that this is a Windows® 10 feature, so the best place to get the right clarification for each attribute is Microsoft. Please, reach their support for more information on this matter and share your suggestion for the change of the attributes. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us https://support.microsoft.com/en-us
