    System and compressed memory background process persistently consuming high CPU resources

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

    1. Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

    2. Which anti-virus program is installed on the PC?

    High CPU usage occurs for various reasons, for example: virus/malware infections, out-of-date drivers, anti-virus programs or other third-party programs, etc;

    Method 1: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with system. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your System
    Maintenance.

    Refer these steps:

    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel
    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel
    • Run the System Maintenance troubleshooter

    Method 2: Check if the issue resolves in
    Safe Mode.

    Refer this article to boot to safe mode:

    Windows help and learning


    Steps to reduce the CPU usage.

    1-Press "Ctrl," "Shift," and "Esc" on your keyboard. This brings up the task manager without any intermediary screen.

    2-Click the "Processes" button on the task manager.

    3-Click the "CPU" column header until the arrow next to the label points down.

    4-Right-click a program you recognize that uses a high percentage of the CPU and click "End Process." Click "End Process" to reconfirm. This eases up on the CPU's load. Use this step if you're not using a process or if the process has stopped responding. Do
    not use this procedure for windows processes.

    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

    Thanks.

    High system process CPU usage on connecting to the internet.

    Hi, DivyanshJoshi,

    Thank you for letting me know that you've already tried the steps I suggested, including a clean boot, and are still experiencing high CPU usage from the System process when connecting to the internet.

    In that case, it might be helpful to try some additional troubleshooting steps, such as performing a system file check (SFC) scan or checking for problematic drivers or hardware components. Updating your BIOS firmware to the latest version might also be useful.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
