  2. My CPU utilization is 100% while gaming.

    I was playing Dead space remake and I relize that my cpu utilization is 100%. I puted the graphics quality on low but it remains the same.

    after that i tried another games but it was the same. I have 100% cpu even on online games like The Finals!

    when I close these games the cpu become only 10% or less.

    when I run the games the game takes about 90% cpu and other programs about 10% so it become 100%. but the temperature of the cpu is only 50-60.

    what did i do untill now :

    1) All of the drivers are updated

    2) I put the priority of the game into High and windows decide and the result was the same

    3) I set the battery into balanced and high and it was the same.

    4) I tried all the graphics quality and it was the same

    My system : Cpu core i5 12400f / gpu : 6700xt
