CPU Constantly at 100% In Task Manager, But Not in Process Explorer

Starting yesterday, I have a very odd problem on my Windows 10 desktop-- my CPU is constantly running at 100% (according to Task Manager), and it isn't throttling down. Because of this, it's constantly running at 3.3 GHz and the temperatures are rising to the point where the fans kick in at full force. If I go into the Windows power settings screen and manually change the processor power maximum to 50%, then it's capped at 50% frequency (~1.5 GHz), but it never goes below the maximum possible frequency.

The weird thing is, when I look at the process list, there isn't really anything obvious that's triggering it. None of the processes are abnormal, and though the process CPU percentages do add up to 100%, it doesn't make sense to me that each individual process is taking up as much CPU as Task Manager says it is. Everything seems to be "using" a significantly higher amount of CPU resources than it normally does.

As an attempt to diagnose the problem, I've also tried using Process Explorer. The really weird thing is that Process Explorer shows only 1-2% usage when idle, with the System Idle Process taking up the remaining ~98% as I would expect. Again, nothing looks out of the ordinary in the process list, but the processes are showing the levels of activity I would expect in Process Explorer.

I've already run both Windows Defender and Malware Bytes (a virus was my first guess), but nothing has turned up yet.

This same issue also occurs in Safe Mode, so I'm guessing that it's more along the lines of something to do with Windows itself...

So, to recap:

• Windows 10 Desktop
  
• Intel 970, 3.3 GHz, 6 cores
  
• Task manager and resource monitor graphs shows 100% usage total
  
• No individual process is taking up significant resources in the resource monitor list
  
• CPU is not throttling down automatically based on the dynamic load, causing high temperatures and the fan to kick in
  
• Process Explorer is only showing 1-2% CPU usage
  

Before I go uninstalling everything, how would I figure out what's causing the issue if nothing weird is showing up in Task Manager or Process Explorer?

 

CPU Cores 1-2 On 100% Use Until Task Manager Is Launched. Any Suggestions?

Hi,

I would like to ask for your help/assistance.

According to MSI afterburner and System Explorer, Cpu cores 1-2 are 100% used until task manager is launched. I can also hear the fans spinning faster.

A full Bitdefender Scan was run, and it has found nothing.

I cannot see any processes using that CPU power.

Any help would be highly appreciated,

Thank you!

 

CPU constantly at 100% in task manager

The system does not feel like it's lagging and games play fine. I don't hear the fans running fast to indicate the system is under strain. There is no indication of this. Plus the readings for core temp are the same with other apps I have tried. Process explorer being another that I have tried. And that also shows it sitting fine idle at 1%. Ordering by CPU usage does not show any programs/services taking up 100% usage.

The same. 100% cpu usage with the CPU core graph maxed out at 100% constantly. And thanks for the welcome *Smile
