Hi EnsignMicrobe69-

I'm Kevin B. Independent advisor and a Windows user like you . I do apologize for the confusion about your CPU usage, let me help you sort things out.

Zoom application is a third party application and may not be accurate about the measurement.

It will not be considered as well if be needing a report on Windows.

Kindly relay on the task manager about the CPU usage and other reports on your Windows.

Also, if you want to consider running a scan on your device to check if there is a system corruptions that is running on the background.

Please try the followings steps below.

1. Windows Key + R

2. Type CMD right click and run as administrator.

3. Copy and paste each command below, you need to do it one at a time until

finishes scanning.

sfc /scannow

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Note: While the command is running, it's expected to see the process stuck at particular percent. After a few minutes, the process will complete successfully.

Once you complete the steps, the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool will connect to the Windows Update servers to download and replace any corrupted files in the local image for Windows 10 as necessary.

Also, kindly minimize the running services on your computer to see if some of your third party applications cause the concern.

Press Windows key + R

Type: msconfig then press enter

On the system configuration window go to services tab

Check hide all Microsoft services on the lower left corner of the window.

Click disable all

Click apply then okay.

It will ask you for restart and kindly restart your computer to apply the changes.

Hope this will help and have a blessed day!

Thanks.

Please see Zoom's explanation to understand what you are seeing. You can find it here:
