    Task Manager at 100%


    I'm getting the task manager saying my CPU is at 100%. But when I check the 4 cores usage with MSI manager, they are at 5% or so. Seems tasks that should take little CPU are using much more than normal, according to Task Manager. There is no overheating.


    Any idea why? Not sure if related, but I had a Killer Network app show up on there, but it is now gone.


    I did re-boot and same thing.



    Thanks.


    CPU - i7 6700K
    Board - Z170A M3 Gaming
    RAM - G.SKILL TridentZ Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM
    OS - Windows 10 Pro
    GPU - MSI GeForce GTX 1050

    task manager showing 100% usage

    Hi AKHILKUMARV.G,

    Start your laptop and let it settle down for a couple of minutes

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc)

    Leave that open to monitor your PC

    Click on the column header that is at 100% so the arrow faces down

    What are the top 5 processes listed at that time

    Task Manager has Disk at 100% when only 0 - 3 mg are shown as used

    I have:

    1) Formatted my disk and partitioned it as needed for Windows 10

    1) Installed Windows 10 Home Edition 64 bit

    2) Disabled Superfetch

    3) Disabled Windows Search

    4) Disabled BITS

    5) Uninstalled Skype and SkypeHost.exe

    6) Set MSISupported to "0" in registry

    After each step I would reboot my computer and get the same problem 100% Disk in Task Manager

    2) Installed Norton Antivirus and disabled Windows Defender and rebooted.

    1) The system booted and hit 100% in Task Manager for about 5 minutes.

    2) Attempted to open Windows Notepad and the Task Manager went back to 100% Disk.

    In all instances the Task Manager Disk Listing would show between 0.3 and 2.5 total usage and still show the Disk at 100% on the top freezing the computer.
