    My laptop idling temp and cpu usage really high after recent windows update


    I’m looking in task manager right now. something called Microsoft Windows indexer and something else we’re forcing the cpu usage up to 25-100% for some reason. I ended the tasks and restarted and it seems to be working ok for now. Does anybody know what these things were and why they were causing this? don’t mean to sound stupid, but I’m curious if anyone else has got this before?

    System Idle Process High cpu usage

    No, System Idle Process is *not* causing high cpu usage. It's not causing anything at all.

    System Idle Process is not really any process at all. It's just a number inserted to make the total CPU usage add up to 100%. From the little information you've provided, I can't tell what your problem is, but it's definitely not System Idle Process .

    High CPU Usage at Idle

    Hey guys, recently my W10 PC seems to be using a fair bit of CPU. I noticed this because my Battlefield 1 fps appeared to have dropped. First thing I did was roll back my nvidia drivers to the previous version, but then I noticed my cpu usage. I seem to be using 35-45% cpu usage at idle. I've never seen it go below 35% (In safe mode its around 2-3%).

    Things i've tried:
    - Sfc scannow at boot (it found & fixed a few things)
    - chkdsk /f at boot
    - Stuff from here: Windows 10 High CPU Usage Fixes
    - Superantispyware scan

    Hopefully someone will be able to point me in the right direction!
    Thanks!
