HOW can i reduce it?

System and compressed memory background process persistently consuming high CPU resources

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Please answer these questions to get more clarity on this issue:

1. Did you make any changes to your computer prior to this issue?

2. Which anti-virus program is installed on the PC?

High CPU usage occurs for various reasons, for example: virus/malware infections, out-of-date drivers, anti-virus programs or other third-party programs, etc;

Method 1: Windows has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with system. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue is with your System
Maintenance.

Refer these steps:

• Press Windows key +X, select Control panel

• Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons
• Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel

• Run the System Maintenance troubleshooter

Method 2: Check if the issue resolves in
Safe Mode.

Refer this article to boot to safe mode:

Windows help & learning

Steps to reduce the CPU usage.

1-Press "Ctrl," "Shift," and "Esc" on your keyboard. This brings up the task manager without any intermediary screen.

2-Click the "Processes" button on the task manager.

3-Click the "CPU" column header until the arrow next to the label points down.

4-Right-click a program you recognize that uses a high percentage of the CPU and click "End Process." Click "End Process" to reconfirm. This eases up on the CPU's load. Use this step if you're not using a process or if the process has stopped responding. Do
not use this procedure for windows processes.

Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help.

Thanks.

 

APP OPENS ONLY AS A BACKGROUND PROCESS AND DOESN'T SHOW ANY INTERFACE

Issue Description:

• The Anghami app does not open properly on my PC.
  
• When attempting to launch the app, it remains as a background process and does not display the user interface.
  
• The only way I can temporarily resolve this issue is by restarting my laptop with the Wi-Fi turned off, opening the Anghami app before turning the Wi-Fi back on.
  

Steps Taken to Resolve:

I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Updating the app to the latest version.
   
2. Reinstalling the app.
   
3. Running the app in compatibility mode.
   
4. Running the app as an administrator.
   
5. Checking for conflicting software.
   
6. Creating a new user account.
   
7. Verifying system resources and closing unnecessary background applications.
   
8. Checking for Windows updates.
   
9. Reviewing Event Viewer for error messages.
   
10. Ensuring the correct network configuration.
    

Unfortunately, none of these steps have resolved the issue.

System Information:

Operating System: Windows 11 pro (10.0.22621 Build 22621)

Anghami App Version: 2.4.0 and the older version too 2.2.3

Hardware Specifications: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU, 8GB RAM, 64-bit operating

PS IT DIDN'T OPEN BEFORE I UPDATED TO WINDOWS 11 TOO!

 

The "system"process is using constant CPU in windows 11

The "System" process is a core Windows process that is responsible for managing various system resources, such as the CPU, memory, and disk. It is normal for the "System" process to use some CPU resources, but if it is using a constant high CPU usage, then there may be a problem.

Here are some possible reasons why the "System" process is using constant CPU usage in Windows 11:

• Corrupt or outdated drivers: Outdated or corrupt drivers can cause the "System" process to use high CPU resources. You can update your drivers by going to the website of your computer manufacturer or device manufacturer and downloading the latest drivers for your device.
  
• Malware: Malware can also cause the "System" process to use high CPU resources. You can scan your computer for malware using a reputable antivirus program.
  
• Background processes: There may be background processes that are running and using up CPU resources. You can use Task Manager to identify and end these processes.
  
• Hardware problems: If you have recently installed new hardware, it is possible that it is not compatible with your computer and is causing the "System" process to use high CPU resources. You can try uninstalling the new hardware or updating its drivers.
  

If you have tried the above steps and the "System" process is still using constant CPU usage, then you may need to contact Microsoft support for help.
