Windows 10: CPU usage jumps when opening task manager.

Hello. My CPU usage jumps when I open Task Manager. Is this normal?

:)

 

Task Manager High CPU Usage

I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).

 

Cpu usage high until I open task manager

So, whenever I open my task manager CPU usage is at 100% and thing that takes up 100% is something called " system interrupts ", but its only when I open the task manager, so when my task manager is closed my CPU usage is at 100% at all the times? Do
I need to keep my task manager open to play games?...

 

CPU Usage 100% until Task Manager is opened

Hi,

I have a i9-9900k 32gb Windows Pro 21H2 19044.1586 desktop that randomly starts freezing up. As soon as I hit task manager, I can see the CPU is 100% for a second after opening, after which it goes down to normal levels and I can use my PC normally.

I have searched for answers and found thread Redirecting but that's from 2015 and it's now closed. I have tried the solution listed there and on the last step I'm getting access conflicts due to files being in use. What else can I try? Or if that solution is still valid, what can I do about the files that can't be accessed due to being in use?

Thank you
