  2. How fix 4-times-higher CPU usage at idle?

    Yes, I have noticed negative effects on my PC's performance:

    -Browsing is slower when I open multiple tabs rapidly. I do this a lot (I research multiple links in online articles).

    -My PC gets much hotter, and stays hot--so much hotter that I have to turn it off.

    After the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, the 39% CPU usage screen shot of my Process Manager was when I was doing nothing--no browsing, word processing, etc. Before I took the screen shots, I closed all application programs. My machine was leveled out, as you better describe it (the screen shots were taken 5 minutes after my PC first leveled out). My PC is 39% CPU usage when leveled out; never lower.

    Before the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, my PC was 10% CPU usage when it leveled out. And it stayed there.

    1 other PC we have with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (same model as my PC) *HAS* the 39%-CPU-usage-at-idle problem.

    2 other PCs we have with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (different brands) DO *NOT* HAVE the 39%-CPU-usage-at-idle problem. They have only 10% CPU usage at idle.

    [NOTE I've no software to my PC after the Anniversary Update. My programs, etc. the are same as before.]

    Any ideas on what to do to fix my high CPU usage?:
    -use Process Explorer? (how do I use it in this case?)
    -reinstall hardware drivers? (which ones?)
    -suspend certain services? (which ones?)

    I've seen comments suggesting each of the above ideas. I need step-by-step instructions (ideally screen shots) for Process Explorer. For drivers & services, which do I try?

    Any ideas on the above possible fixes OR better fixes for my high-CPU-at-idle problem? I'd really appreciate them

    Random CPU usage spikes

    Hello,

    User profile corruption can cause high CPU usage as it
    opens programs that are not necessary on the background
    . To troubleshoot the issue, we suggest
    creating a new user account on your computer to see if the same issue will occur on a different user profile. To do this, simply follow the steps below:


    • Select the Start button, then select Settings > Accounts > Family
      & other people
      > Add someone else to this PC.

    • Type a user name, password, password hint, and then select Next.

    Should you have further questions, please let us know.
