  1. Task Manager high CPU usage right when it's opened.


    So lately i've been extremely paranoid about my computer having malware. It doesnt according to the many scans of Avast, windows defender, and malwarebytes Though I have noticed that everytime I open up task manager, for about a second I see i'm at 100% CPU usage this is before all the icons and process names fully load in ans I was wondering if this is normal or if a malware is masking itself. After a few seconds task manager CPU usage will drop to like 2% once icons and progeam names load in.Task Manager high CPU usage right when it's opened. [​IMG]

  2. Task Manager High CPU Usage

    I have the same problem myself with it only happens when I scroll through task manager and open and close it. I don't know this for sure but the reason this probably happens is that you may have a lot of processes running and task manager is using a lot
    of the CPU to process the usage of each program.

    What I have done is disable data that I don't need to see like network usage and GPU usage and it drops the CPU usage a bit. I have also enabled everything and scrolled up and down on it and task manager uses almost twice as much.

    I would suggest disabling everything but CPU, disk, and RAM, (I would not suggest having GPU on because it is almost always at 99% unless you have FPS limits).

  3. High CPU usage when opening task manager

    Hey, so as said in the title, my CPU usage is unusually high when I open task manager. After about a second, the CPU usage starts dropping down to around 5%. I've ran malwarebytes multiple times, but the issue still persists. I would like to avoid resetting
    my PC if possible.
