    "System" task using A LOT of cpu usage only while playing Sea of thieves


    Hi so i need some help ASAP,When i try to play Sea of thieves the "system" task weirdly goes up to 40 procent and beyond ive never noticed it and its even using more CPU usage then the game itself. I have a very very good pc that is able to run anything with easyspecs below but with this when the system task starts running it ruins my performance and it heats up my CPU with more then 10 degrees.Odly enough its only with Sea of thieves not even a single other game and I've tried countless of things to do and without any betterment, It really is annoying since I have never seen this happen tha

    :)
