Windows 10: 100% CPU usage **Resolved**

So as you can see from the picture below, i have 100% CPU usage and it doesnt even add up to 100% half of the time. After being connected to MS support for about an hour, the only thing they have 'helped' me with is uninstalling chrome so that I may use edge to reinstall it (I guess they are that desperate to get more edge users). They had told me that reinstalling chrome will fix the issue as "chrome could be the issue" well, it wasn't, and I knew it want because I've been using chrome since someone told me how efficient it was over iexplorer.

Anyway, I have an issue with Windows 10 Pro that results in task manager acting up in such a way that makes it state my CPU usage at its highest, as you probably already saw from the second picture, its an i7-8700k.... and nothing else is out of the ordinary.


After doing my research for a month, I have not found a fix outside of reinstalling windows..... I didnt want to install windows 10 the first time, as I was fond of windows 7 pro, so why would I want to do it a second time.... only this time, reinstalling the other 600GB worth of programs and files that I had accumulated since. I had a small slice of hope when I had come across a forum that stated "wait till the update, they tend to fix these issues" except 2 updates had come and gone since.

Issue was resolved changing the power plan settings shown here

the issue was that the minimum state was set to 100, after setting it to 0 and saving, the issue was fixed

cpu usage at 100%

CPU usage at 100% from start up for no apparently good reason. Service Host appears to be the problem but I cant narrow it down more than that at present.

Any suggestions?

I am using Windows 10 full release version 64 bit.

 

CPU Usage 100%

PC starts with 100% cpu usage. It won't come down even cpu is left idle. Cpu fan won't stop, when temp are normal.

 

CPU usage 100%





As you can see my CPU usage is always 100%, Due to this CPU fan never stops, even when temperature are normal.

When I turn on pc, it always starts with 100% cpu usage. I also ran malware and antivirus scans, couldn't help (Quick Heal antivirus).

Using Windows 10 updated to latest version.
