    Conhost using more then 60% CPU


    Hello, lately my laptop has been very loud, also it was hot after 2 minutes since I started it, I checked the task manager and figured out that my conhost.exe is using +60% CPU without anything running. I ran multiple scans but could not figure it out, tried everything that was online, used all the cmd commands. Can anyone help?

    :)
