Windows 10: ntoskrnl (System) is using 250MB/Memory regularly -Cant get rid of it

Any help would be so appreciated. I've tried everything I can think of to get rid of it but that isn't much. I cant change the permissions in the system folder of course so I can't seem to change or fix this in any way I have tried. I can hear it running on my computer, right now using 236MB according to task manager. Makes my PC painfully slow its almost impossible to do anything. Started about a week after Windows 10 install, I'm about to go back to Windows 7 as I am afraid if I reinstall 10 it will do the same thing. I have uploaded the zipped file as requested, as well as a screen shot of my task manager and the properties window which I know probably does not do much good. Thank you

:)

It simply can not be ntoskrnl as that is one of the main OS processes. It NEVER crashes because if there is something wrong with it the system will not boot. No idea where you are seeing it say the cause is Ntoskrnl

If you cant get it to crash and they can, they are doing something to make it crash. Perhaps it is networking, perhaps it is the power source there. It can be anything and it is impossible to diagnose via third party.

Hi Have you checked for malware?? You might scan your PC with Malwarebytes!
ntoskrnl is needed but is also a place that malware likes to hide.

Memory is not your problem for pete sake. Your CPU is at 75+%. RAM usage is not slowing you down. Leave RAM, ALONE!

 

I would be more concerned that with minimal programs working your CPU is running at 75 %. Of course it could just be that your screenshot coincided with a spike but still.

Also you haven't filled out your system specs properly so it's difficult to help you.
Can you fill out your system specs so I have a better idea what I'm working with?

If you don't know the values, please download Speccy from Piriform and install. It will tell you everything you need to know:
Speccy - Standard

Also, please run MBAM if you haven't already.

 

I have ran every good malware program there is they all say It's clear, I ran the Speccy (thank you) and will fill out that info now... this is what it said though -

I wasn't having any problems before I installed Windows 10, a few days ago I did a new clean install and wiped
everything same problem is coming up again. When I google it I find that others have had the same issue or
are having it but no real good solutions... Thanks for your help

 

Have you tried this? It might help with your RAM and CPU problem as well.

Thank you TairikuOkami. That may have worked. I know that before I reinstalled windows 10 the other
day I was having an issue that I could not do anything with my HomeGroup because the P2Psvd.dll was
not functioning and could not be repaired. We'll see I will post if I have further issues with it. I'm going to mark this as solved
because it instantly is not acting as it was before, I believe it worked. Thanks again
