    High CPU Usage at idle - Unarchiver running


    For some reason, when I leave my computer at idle, I can hear the fans on my rad spin up. I have a rainmeter skin that shows my top process at it reads "unarchiver" with my CPU idling at about 50c and running at full clock.

    What's weird is that when I start up task manager, the process stops and I don't see anything that says "Unarchiver" in the list. Then, if I leave my computer running idle a bit, the process starts back up.

    The only things that I think might contribute are an update to a game launcher (GOG Galaxy), installing Cyberpunk 2077, and installing Brave Browser but I really don't see how any of those would cause this issue.

    I've run a virus scan with defender, but nothing shows up. I've done the latest windows update (the problem was occurring before the update)

    Has anyone had this come up? I'm hoping to hear some ideas before I go uninstalling and reinstalling programs.

    It's driving me absolutely bonkers and google has failed me so far.

    System Idle Process High cpu usage

    What are the processes that cause HIGH CPU usage?

    System Idle Process High cpu usage

    No, System Idle Process is *not* causing high cpu usage. It's not causing anything at all.

    System Idle Process is not really any process at all. It's just a number inserted to make the total CPU usage add up to 100%. From the little information you've provided, I can't tell what your problem is, but it's definitely not System Idle Process .

    High CPU Usage at Idle

    Hey guys, recently my W10 PC seems to be using a fair bit of CPU. I noticed this because my Battlefield 1 fps appeared to have dropped. First thing I did was roll back my nvidia drivers to the previous version, but then I noticed my cpu usage. I seem to be using 35-45% cpu usage at idle. I've never seen it go below 35% (In safe mode its around 2-3%).

    Things i've tried:
    - Sfc scannow at boot (it found & fixed a few things)
    - chkdsk /f at boot
    - Stuff from here: Windows 10 High CPU Usage Fixes
    - Superantispyware scan

    Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction!
    Thanks!
