What is the issue?

I recently found that on my Windows, ollama.exe loads my models into 100% CPU, and ollama serve which is from cli, load my models as 60%/40% CPU/GPU, and another deferent thing is that i 've already pulled 6 models which ollama.exe put them into the folder D:\.ollama\models\ that i set in ollama.exe's setting, but in the situation that ollama serve runs ollama ls, then i see only 2 models listing and i found the 2 models refers to the default model folder at C:\Users\Me\.ollama\models\. i wonder why and i was trying to figure out why the model could loads into parts of GPU and parts of CPU with command line ollama serve and ollama run <model>, but the model loads into fully CPU with ollama.exe which is evry slowly loading and responsing 🤣.
