Windows 10: Is it just me, or is Windows using more CPU and memory after updating?

it also seems to crash more often. i just opened up a couple browsers and file explorer and suddenly the only thing i can move is my mouse. had to restart my computer

'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

 

Is it memory or CPU

I have it solved thanks for the replies, I bumped the memory up one step from 1.10000 to 1.10625 and everything is fine. My temps were fine High of 67C low of 41C. I really appreciate the input by everyone

 

Is it memory or CPU

I second a bump to the CPU voltage. As it's the smallest speed increment you're trying to achieve, I'd suggest suitably small increments in voltage. Perhaps start with the smallest and go up to a max of five steps. There's really no hard and fast rule on something like this.

Even before you do this, it's a good idea to reseat your memory and graphics card, cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol while you're at it. Also clean out any significant dust that's accumulated around your CPU cooler or mobo. Finally, check your temperatures are looking ok. The tiniest irregularity can upset your PC when you're trying to overclock it - I know, I've been there, lol.

If you wanna go large, you can even reseat your CPU (don't clean the contacts; too delicate) and put new thermal paste on it. However, there's always the risk of an accident ruining your CPU or mobo when doing this, so I suggest this last step with caution and only if you really want to.
