Windows 10: Microsoft store games are using every bit of cpu they can get

i was playing mcc and i saw it was running at 40 FPS, i went to the task manager and i saw the gaming services were using 10% of cpu and mcc was using 90% of cpu. i closed some apps in the background and let's say i cleaned 10% of the cpu usage, so the game will increase the cpu usage by 10% keeping it to 100% cpu usage. i want to know what is going on?
