Windows 10: High CPU usage still after most recent update

Hi all,


I have been researching this for days now and still cannot correct this issue. I've tried just about everything I've found on Google and still have yet to have success. I did a fresh install of Windows 10 and the problem is still persisting. From what I've read, an update released in mid September should have fixed this issue. I installed process hacker to see which process is using all my CPU and it looks as though System Idle Process is still using anywhere from 98-100% CPU. Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you

:)

high cpu usage

After downloading windows 10, anytime I run any programs, I get high CPU usage. It does not matter whether it is google chrome, task manager, playing games, whatever. Anything seems to spike the CPU usage. I have already run malwarbytes and my antivirus
programs and find no viruses. Any suggestions? Thanks.
