  1. explorer.exe high cpu usage until i open task manager


    I am using a windows 11 PC. Every time I start up, the fan runs noisily and I notice that the CPU temperature is high even though the computer idles. Therefore I opened the task manager to see what is going on. I can see that the explorer.exe occupies about 40% of CPU usage for about 1 or 2 seconds, but it goes lower to 0% quickly. As soon as I close the task manager, the temperature goes up again.I have tried several anti-malware applications as well as the windows defender. But none of them reported nothing suspicious. Then I tried procmon and procexp, still no help. But I found that Remote

  3. Task Manager High CPU Usage

    I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
    of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

    What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

    I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).

    High CPU usage when opening task manager

    Hey, so as said in the title, my CPU usage is unusually high when I open task manager. After about a second, the CPU usage starts dropping down to around 5%. I've ran malwarebytes multiple times, but the issue still persists. I would like to avoid resetting
    my PC if possible.
