Windows 10: 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.

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 task manager is open

hi, i have done a clean boot and sfc clean-image restore etc nothing out the ordinary my computer is up to date also i use a program called open hardware to monitor mt temps / usage and it never is pinned near 70-100% there is spikes upon launching games
etc but i assume that's normal even when i bring open the task manager and its using up to 30-40% cpu usage in other programs showing cpu usage it isn't as high as what windows task manager is telling me

 

High cpu usage until I open Task Manager

Two days ago I noticed that my computer was running very slow but when I would open Task manager it would say that my cpu usage was around 2%

I used a third-party software to monitor my cpu usage and when I closed task manager was closed my cpu usage would shoot up to 100%. I've tried looking around for solutions but haven't found any that work yet. I suspect that it is a trojan but after 1 windows
defender full scan nothing has changed. should I try another anit virus?

one that I have tried Cpu usage high until i open task manager

Thanks,
