Windows 10: How can I see Cortana's status? It's running up my CPU and memory.

Is there anything I can run on the command line or in Settings to see what Cortana is doing right now? It has been using 50% CPU and 30% memory for a couple of hours, and I'd just like to know what's going on. I noticed it when my laptop's fans spun up (still going).

'System and compressed memory' on ASUS G75VY notebook load CPU always on 16%

thank you for your reply!

here what I did:

1. disabled non-microsoft services, disabled all applications in startup list

result: after restart "system and compressed memory" still gain 17% CPU

2. ran PC into safe mode ( just to see what happens )

result: CPU load is 0% for "system and compressed memory"

3. ran PC in normal mode

result: CPU load is 0% for "system and compressed memory"

as we can see from step 1, the problem probably is not in applications ?

what would you suggest in this case ?

looking forward for your answer
