Windows 10: Is it normal for cpu usage to be 100 percent on startup?

My CPU usage on startup is 100 percent for about 1 minute, then it goes to 3 or 4 percent right after and then about 1 minute later it goes back to 100 percent for 1 minute. the first spike is from some "antimalware service executable" I'd rather keep that turned on and some AMD service i have a Ryzen processor and the second one is from "Connected User Experiences and Telemetry", which I've read can disable some updates so I kept that one on also. Is this normal or should I be worried?

Chronic 100 percent disk and CPU usage on older hardware


Dual Boot install promised to roommate for New Year on an eMachine t5234 w/ 2gb RAM and Athlon Dual Core 400 CPU, finding heavy and CPU usage at 100% constantly. Some of this seems to trace to communications for Mail app syncing (he likes the new Mail app) and all the reporting going back to MS. I also see the Maintenance app regularly in the mix. Can any of these be turned off or mitigated besides uninstalling Mail App?

HD tests Good, Disk Check normal, boot defragged and optimized with Puran.

Here are Resource Monitor screenies and specs:

This PC runs WIn7 fine so I wonder if this may be due to all the reporting and maintenance running instead of pretty low specs. Opinions or suggestions?

Disk Usage 100 Percent

Computer Specs:

CPU: i7-8700k

16GB RAM

Storage: HP EX920 m.2 SSD

Build is a year old

So for the past 3 months I've been having 100 percent disk usage when opening programs, and on startup it will remain 100 percent for quite some time.

I have a build completely identical to this one and its disk usage never jumps above 10 percent. (ever)

I've tried everything including the countless fixes (disabling superfetch etc) and even wiping the drive and reinstalling windows (multiple times).

I guess my question is; if I've reinstalled windows, wiped my drive multiple times and the problem still persists, should I assume that the drive has gone bad?

(I haven't done anything that would warrant a virus).

Thank you for your input
