  1. High CPU usage when moving my mouse.


    Basically, whenever I move my mouse in a window or program, the cpu usage of that program spikes significantly. I've also noticed that videos stutter a lot whenever i move my cursor as well. One thing I have noticed is that while using the touchpad does increase the cpu usage as well, it doesn't make videos stutter like my mouse does.


    Things I have already tried:

    Running an AV scan (nothing found)

    Resetting Windows 10 (no difference)

    Changing cpu priority to favour foreground apps over background apps and vice versa

    Reinstalling mouse drivers

    Updating my display driver

    Disabling some services on startup

    Unchecked the "let apps run in the background" option in privacy settings (this helped a bit)

    sfc

    Disabled Cortana and some other stuff

    Changed mouse polling rate


    Specs:

    Acer Aspire A114-31

    Windows !0 Home 64 (build 17763)

    Intel Celeron N3350 @1.10ghz

    Intel HD 500

    4GB RAM


    I'm pretty sure this problem isn't normal even for a potato like this

    :)

  2. moving mouse cause high cpu usage for explorer.exe

    I have the exact same problem. If i move the mouse fast enough CPU usage spikes. I'm assuming its 1903 related

    In fact a few processes in task manager are using an abnormal amounts of power.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hello, can any person confirm they're experiencing the same problem, high CPU usage while using the mouse on explorer.exe process

    - - - Updated - - -

    When the mouse isn't in use nothing. Now i can feel stutter in game. I have two monitors and can see the whole system isn't right. Any suggestion?

  3. High cpu usage - CPU Spikes when moving mouse...

    Hi everyone - I've built my own custom pc, it has worked wonders for about 2 years now.

    I've rebuilt some of the pc because of upgrades, so my current specifications is as follows...

    I7-7700k (I JUST replaced this 2 hours ago more on this down below)

    Asus strix 1070 oc

    2x 2400MHz 8GB ram Corsair Vengeance

    Corsair AX 860 PSU

    Asus Maximus VIII Hero Motherboard.

    I have had some problems with my old PCU (I5-6600K) where it had high cpu usage, literally spiking from 10-15% idle to 60-70% just by hovering over icons on the desktop. Also running a steady 100% whenever
    I used any programs.

    Did a bunch of testing to figure out what was wrong with it, but gave up in the end after about 8-10 hours of work on it. Decided to buy a new CPU to see if that helped (i already wanted a new one so i thought
    why not...)

    The problem that is happening was not persistent after I put the new cpu in today. But after about 2 hours of run on the pc it began having troubles again. It first began while playing world of warcraft. The
    FPS was lowered even though both cpu and gpu was running on about 50-80% power. Whenever i would move the mouse my game would just lag out and if i kept moving it continuously it would completely stop showing frames and just freeze until i stopped moving it
    again.

    After that i noticed that whenever i moved my mouse on the icons on the desktop or move my mouse around on google chrome it begins spiking up again like last time. Also it uses a lot of CPU power for small
    jobs which it really shouldn't. Like having discord, 5 pages of chrome and steam open it can use around 30-40% on a i7-7700k??

    I know you like when people try to do it themselves first. And I am not a 'noob' at troubleshooting and googling my way through problems, but this one is a tough nut to crack.

    Problem: High cpu usage overall and high cpu spikes whenever i move the mouse. Literally can't play games because whenever i have to move the mouse it begins to do lagspikes.

    What i've tried so far:

    • Reinstalled windows 10 3 times and updated all drivers afterwards.
    • Wiped the entire SSD with the windows 10 and the games on twice.
    • Reapplied thermal paste and even replaced the cpu to a newer and stronger edition
    • uninstalled various drivers from the device manager and reinstalling them.
    • Fiddling around in safe mode without much knowledge of what to look for.
    • benchmarked the cpu to see if it was lacking behind (it wasn't)
    • Done a malware system scan through malware bytes
    • Done a ccleaner scan
    • done a antivirus scan through avira.
    I am out of ideas and i cant seem to find any help on google and i really hope any of you guys are able and willing to help me with this pesky issue... It's not fun to have a 'strong' computer if it can't even
    handle browsing or simple games...

    High CPU usage when moving my mouse.

    moving mouse cause high cpu usage for explorer.exe

    Something strange happens to me i never noticed. When i do nothing i have 1% cpu usage. But when i start rapidly moving mouse, cpu usage goes up to 20% for process explorer.exe, which is indeed weird. And for system interrupts cpu usage increases from 0.1 only to 0.5 How does mouse have to do anything with explorer.exe and i am currently on 4.1ghz intel i7 3770 4 cores, disabled hyper threading. And it doesn't happen randomly tested it already couple times. So weird i don't even have that high polling rate only 500hz and i have connected only mouse and keyboard into top ports of usb 2.0 It is also strange because i have pretty low dpc latency.
