    CPU keeps going high


    Hi, so normally my CPU with a game would be normally 40-65% usage and now suddenly the game would be 50-80% along with when I open the task manager it would give 20% usage so I'd be having no fps and everything would be slow. If I was doing nothing I would have 40% usage from Windows explorer and System in task manager. I've also recently kind of been hacked but I only lost a discord account. If the case is that the hacker added a file that could make my CPU be higher then I don't know what to do, but if anyone can help with the CPU problem then that would be amazing. My processor is an Inte

    Windows 10 Display Blinking with High CPU

    After upgrade to Windows 10, experiencing flashing display and high CPU.

    • At initial logon screen everything is normal - wall paper and logon screen display with no blinking
    • After logon, fan starts as CPU usage spikes, cursor is accompanied by the spinning blue circle
    • touchscreen does not respond to swipe to access Recovery/Safe mode for reboot
    • able to get to Task Manager and Perfmon to see high CPU usage and explorer.exe is suspended
    looking for suggestions on how to either fix or roll back to Windows 8.1

    High CPU Usage in Windows 10 Version 1703

    Hi,

    There are programs that cause high CPU usage by creating multiple processes which consume resources on your computer. For us to provide the best resolution possible, we'll be needing additional information:

    • Are you using a third-party software or program such as antivirus?
    • Are there any changes made on your computer prior to the issue?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    We'll keep an eye out for your response.
