    High CPU and memory usage after 1809 windows update. Computer running very slow.


    Originally this problem because every time I opened the game pubg I would get a blue screen of death with a code of: kernel security check failure. I tried updating my graphics drivers to no avail. So I decided to get the most recent windows update 1809 to see if that would fix it, but it basically just nuked my computer making it really slow (100% CPU usage and 80% memory usage) even to the point of making a youtube video stutter during playback. And still didn't fix the pubg BSoD :'(


    My computer specs:

    CPU: i5 6600k

    MOBO: Gigabyte GA-Z170M-D3H

    GPU: GTX 1060 6GB

    RAM: 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4

    SSD: 750 Evo 250GB (windows installed)

    HDD: WD 1TB


    Some screenshots of me just trying to open a new video on youtube:

    Weird thing is the memory used by my processes doesn't seem to add up correctly (seeing as I have 16GB physically installed).

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/5kks9k0s9a14nvo/JOHN-PC.12-22-2018.12-36-36.zip?dl=0


    Steps I've tried:

    1. Updating my BIOS to latest version

    2. Updating all my drivers

    3. Dism CheckHealth and ScanHealth (no faults/errors)

    4. Windows update troubleshooter (no result)

    5. Updating windows defender

    6. Let my computer run overnight (it seems to have sped up slightly)


    After putting many hours into troubleshooting this I'm thinking it's not worth the effort and I should just revert to the previous windows version...


    But if there are any obvious steps I haven't tried yet, please let me know!


    Thanks

    :)

    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?

    High CPU and memory usage after 1809 windows update. Computer running very slow.

    System and compressed memory high CPU usage

    HP pavilion Windows 10 home. The process System and compressed memory runs with high cpu usage. The computer is almost frozen and in some cases restarts. I have seen a lot of discussions on this issue. I have tried few things but whithout success. In safe
    mode the computer works well.

    Is there an article that presents the steps to be followed to solve this problem?
