    Excessive CPU Usage


    I have a hard time running programs because its always lagging. Even if I run a single tab. Even if I run a single program. And even when it's idle on the desktop screen with no running programs. It always seems to use like near 50% of CPU then goes to 100%. I always kill some processes, services(irrelevant) and all startups in Task Manager but still to no avail. Here's some of my system info:

    Intel Celeron Processor N3350
    Intel HD Graphics
    2GB DDR3 L Memory

    I know Windows 10 has the minimum requirement of 2GB Memory to run. But why was this already installed with Windows 10 in the first place. I hope I can find a solution to this, somehow. Any help is appreciated.

    :)

    excessive cpu usage

    When I use Microsoft solitaire the cpu usage rapidly ramps up to as high as 80% causing the fan to absolutely race. This is new ion the last few days. Nothing else seems to cause this. Any suggestions?

    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?

    Excessive CPU Usage

    Excessive CPU usage by IE 11

    For the last couple of weeks IE 11 on my Windows 10x64 PC has been using an excessively high amount of CPU constantly. 1 or 2 tabs never trapped CPU usage below about 7% even after webpages that open for a significant amount of time. I've run all the tests
    I can think of including SFC/scannow which reported no problems.

    Obviously this is affecting everything I do on the PC while I have IE open.
