    CPU Usage locks at 7% or 13%. Need Help


    My laptops cpu usage locks down at 7% causing it to be very choppy and slow. Games are unoperable, and other processes are just as slow or not responding. Recently, the laptop fan had to be replaced and i had performed a clean boot to hopefully fix this issue to no avail. A few days ago after a random update, my laptop started working as it did earlier with no issues but after 15-20 minutes, crashed. This happened 2-3 after this and then went back to cpu usage 7% locked stage, as it stays now. I suspect that this a heating issue of sorts. I appreciate any help y'all can provide.11th Gen Intel

    cpu usage high internet slow windows 7

    Brevity can be a virtue but it can also be counter-productive.

    • Which application demands excessive CPU resources?
    • What would you like to ask?

    Windows Explorer high CPU Usage in Windows 10

    Hi Andrew,

    Usually, too many background processes can boost your CPU usage. Since you already disabled the apps that are not necessary on startup,
    we suggest checking the applications running once you have successfully boot Windows 10. To do this, simply follow the steps below:

    • Click on the Start button and type Task Manager on the search box.
    • On the Task Manager window, you should see the programs running.
    • Click on the More details drop-down button to see the total number of apps running and their real-time CPU usage.

    From there, you should see what applications are running on high CPU usage. You can also
    restart the Windows Management Instrumentation service and see if your CPU performance will improve. Follow the instructions below to restart the service:

    • Click on the Start button and type Services.
    • Scroll down the list and look for Windows Management Instrumentation.
    • Right click on it and select Restart.

    Should you have further questions, please let us know.
