This dynamic linking library is part of the MS Windows (7 and higher), the Microsoft Desktop Window Manager API - set of programming interfaces for communication with the Desktop Window Manager. What the Desktop Window Manager does?
"When desktop composition is enabled, individual windows no longer draw directly to the screen or primary display device as they did in previous versions of Windows. Instead, their drawing is redirected to off-screen surfaces in video memory, which are then rendered into a desktop image and presented on the display."
