  1. Task Manager shows CPU usage at 100%


    Hi all,Hope you can help me clarify on small issue/doubt i'm having problem with...I recently build my first PC and everything work well, except that when i open the task manager the CPU usage is always or at least almost always up to 100%.This though is only showed in the Task Manager, as if i open others application that measure CPU usage it seems to be much less, so i'm a bit confused...I don't really understand much regarding process and services running in background so i thought maybe you could help, i wanted to put some screenshots to better explain what i mean, but there is an error

    :)

  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?

  3. Task Manager showing 100% CPU usage

    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?

    Task Manager shows CPU usage at 100%

    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.
