  1. Crazy CPU usage - help please!


    Hello all,

    I just bought a refurbished acer aspire laptop, 8gb ram running Windows 10 64b. It sits idle at below 10% - but if I even move the cursor, nevermind opening an app, it shoots up to 70 - 100%. Obviously this makes it almost unusable. Any suggestions as to why this might be happening, or any fixes I could make?

    I'm not great at computers so simple eli5-type instructions would be a massive help!

    I'd send it back but coronavirus lockdowns mean the shop is shut and I really need to work from home with this thing!

    Thanks in advance Crazy CPU usage - help please! :)

  2. Devices and Printers - Crazy CPU usage

    Hi Community,

    I'm experiencing crazy cpu usage when accesing Devices and Printers. I've tried clearing my printer spool, stopping it and going into Systems 32 and clearing ths Spool however there is nothing there.

    I've updated my printer drivers, then I unintalled my printer all together.

    I turned off my bluetooth and removed all my bluetooth devices.

    I went into services.msc and turned my bluetooth from manual to automatic and then tried to access my Printer and Devices and still get 100% usage on my CPU.

    Help!!!

    I'm not sure what else to try and I can't find a solution online.

    Thanking you all in advance

    Juan Mendoza

    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.
