    CPU usage is extremely low


    I have an Alienware Aurora R16, Recently the CPU Began to be utilized at extremely low percentages. Whether I'm gaming, idle, or doing other tasks, the CPU remains low. It's getting to the point where the screen starts glitching, the apps in Taskbar overlap, and I got a blue screen once. How do I fix this? I know it's not a bottle capMonitor: SONY INZONE M9PC: Aurora R16

    Extremely Low Cpu Usage While Gaming

    Hello , sorry about your problems. My name is Marco and I will do my best to help you.

    Low CPU usage while gaming can indicate a bottleneck in your system. A bottleneck occurs when one component in your system is not powerful enough to keep up with the others, causing the overall performance to suffer.

    Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

    -Check your task manager for other programs that may be running in the background.

    Close any unnecessary programs or background processes to free up resources for your game.

    -Check your GPU usage.

    Open the task manager or a program like MSI Afterburner while you are gaming and see if the GPU usage is high. If the GPU usage is low, it may indicate that the game is not utilizing the GPU effectively.

    -Check your game settings.

    Lowering the game's resolution or turning off some of the more demanding graphics settings can help reduce the load on your CPU.

    -Update your drivers.

    Make sure that you have the latest drivers for your GPU and CPU.

    -Overclocking:

    If you have overclocked your CPU, try resetting it to its default clock speed.

    -CPU Cooling:

    Check that your CPU cooling is adequate. If the CPU is overheating, it may throttle its performance to prevent damage.

    that it was just loading. after an hour I checked my laptop and it was still lagging it takes more than 2min to load something and its really frustraiting so I need help

    Low single core performance CPU in windows 11 22h2 update, low CPU usage

    The recent patch fixed the low GPU usage issue in games, however, CPU usage is still low. below 6%. So Microsoft still needs to fix that. because when I rolled back the update, the usage is fine. even when i run a single core benchmark in cinebench the CPU usage is still below 6%. no driver updates or uninstallation fixed it. only roll back to update fixed the problem. I have Ryzen 5 5600X, 32G corsair ram, RTX 3070. as i mentioned, rolling back the update fixed the issue. GPU usage was low until the recent update from microsoft but there is a problem with the CPU still
