    After Update to Windows 11 wrong CPU usage in Task Manager


    Hello all,since i upgraded from Windows 10 to Win 11 21H222000.258 the TaskManager shows wrong CPU usage its nearly always at 100% usage.So i reinstalled the whole Windows 11, and made a clean install, just to be sure its not related to the upgrade. But it still shows wrong CPU usage.X Box Game Bar is showing me the correct usage as well MSI Dragon Center. Is this a problem with Windows 11, cause i didnt had this on Windows 10?My PC spec:MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon Max WifiAMD Ryzen 7 3700X4x 16GB Ram 3200 G.SkillZotac RTX 2700 SuperNVMe MP600 1TB

    :)

    Task Manager High CPU Usage

    I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
    of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

    What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

    I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).

    After Update to Windows 11 wrong CPU usage in Task Manager

    CPU usage in task manager wrong.

    I bought a new laptop, and after updating it to the newest windows version my CPU is stuck at 100% in the task manager, and I had my doubts about it since it not getting hot and should not do something. I checked with multiple software, I have shown 2 in
    the screenshot below. they record the CPU usage on a usage I more suspect, and all I tried are close to each other and do not look like the usage as in the task manager. So I suspect the task manager is broken.

    My question would be how I could fix this and what could be the problem.
