Windows 10: CPU spikes on foreground programs when moving mouse

Hello! when i move my mouse,(when idle my cpu is at 1%) the cpu goes up to 50%. When i have google opened and move my mouse google uses a lot of cpu and if i close it and open another app and move my mouse that app uses high cpu. I have tried:

-scanning for malware

-i tried to see if the issue still persists in safe mode and it still uses a lot of cpu

-using all fixes i found on the internet

Does anyone know a fix?

Here is a recording showing the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzdNvJbVdsE

CPU spikes on foreground programs when moving mouse

Hi,

I have this problem that is bugging me for several months and has passed even to Windows 10. Starting a few months ago I noticed in Task Manager that when I move my mouse a little bit faster, the program that is currently on foreground starts spiking the
CPU in the range of 10 to 30%. When it started, I was on Windows 8.1, but it continued to my Windows 10 upgrade, then on the fresh install. To summarize my problem:

- every program that is currently on foreground spikes my cpu when moving the mouse;

- not malware, as it survived on several installations of windows and an upgrade;

- not mouse related, I've tried 2 other mice and they have the same problems;

- the computer is quite powerful so the polling rate doesn't affect it that much; I'm keeping it at 500hz but the cpu spiking decreases by a bit when I go on 250;

- when I did the Windows 10 clean install I've tested the issue after every program installation and it seemed to start after installing my AMD gpu driver and control center. On the other hand, Windows Update might have downloaded drivers in the background
because when I uninstalled everything gpu related with DDU the problem was still present but the spikes decreases to about 5-10%.

- without the AMD driver the foreground program shares the spike with Client Server Runtime Process and are lower (4-5% each).

- the issue is still present in safe mode.

- this is what
Task Manager looks like when moving my mouse fast on desktop; also this is what
Process Explorer reveals; and this time for
Chrome.

Relevant:

Intel Core i5 4690

Sapphire R9 285 OC

ASRock H97 PRO4 on 1.70 BIOS

Ask for more info if needed.

Thank you

Edit: grammar.

 

CPU spikes on foreground programs when moving mouse

Hello again and sorry for the late response.

As I've written in my first post, the issue is still present in safe mode. The only difference in safe mode is that
Windows Explorer shares the CPU spike with Client Server Runtime Process and also the spike is not that big (8-9% both), which is funny because the same thing happens after
I uninstall Catalyst Control Center and drivers. (check first post)

Regarding the clean boot, I've done that step and
the issue is still present.

I've run SFC, DISM you name it. No problems found. I would remind you I've had the problem on Windows 8.1 also.

Later edit: I've discovered something interesting. If for example I'm on desktop and open a context menu and move the mouse fast there is no CPU spike for
explorer.exe. The same thing happens for Chrome and the other foreground programs. I hope this helps.

 

CPU spikes on foreground programs when moving mouse

I am getting the exact same problem as You, did you get it working at all?

CPU spiking to 15-30% above normal, youtube videos stuttering, if i move my mouse in games the framerate drops from 120+ to 15fps, mouse gets choppy and i can't aim properly in the few games that the fps doesn't drop so much

In some games without even moving the mouse it's gone from an average of 120+ to 10fps and if i move my mouse or click the game freezes completely.

PC Specs are:

CPU: Intel I7 7700K @ 4.20Ghz(I've noticed this one is clocking at 4.50GHz, Even though i haven't overclocked)

CPU Cooler: Corsair Hydro H110i 280mm Liquid cooler

Ram: Corsair Vengeance LED 16GB DDR4

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 3TB

SSD: Samsung 850EVO 1TB

OS: Windows 10

Monitor: Acer XB280HK 28" 4K G-Sync Gaming Monitor

Fans: 5x Corsair High Airflow 140mm

PSU: Corsair RM750i 750W Modular Power Supply

GPU:Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 1080TI Founders Edition.

I have tried every single fix listed across over a dozen websites and none of them have changed a thing.
