    I've been having Task Manager displaying 100% usage constantly. This is a fresh install of Windows, and all my drivers are up to date. Other software shows normal CPU usage, so what could be the problem?

    :)

  2. Task Manager showing 100% CPU usage

    Task Manager showing 100% CPU usage. A few days after I built my PC, all of a sudden task manager started showing 100% CPU usage no matter what programs are running and it was also showing very high power usage. I ended up temporarily fixing the issue after I did a full fresh install of Windows, 2 months later and now the 100% CPU issue has returned. I checked sensor connections and updated my bios with no luck. I have NO performance issues, I used the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and it showed no high CPU usage. CPU and motherboard specs are below:

    Windows 10 Home 64-bit

    Motherboard: Z690 UD DDR4

    BIOS: F7a

    Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K (24 CPUs), ~3.2GHz

    Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know of possible solutions?

    100% CPU usage in task manager after upgrading to W10

    Thank you Krishna for quick response however it is neither of those reasons. I think it is a bug, it only shows 100% cpu usage but everything works ok . Never had this issue before only started after i updated from windows 7 to 10. The procantage usage
    of cpu on some applications jumps from 5 to 70% in example : the task manager was "using" 80% of cpu and that just can't be right. Having said that i think the task manager's cpu usage shows wrong data (its bugged) somehow.
