task 'system' in task manager runs a constant 8.2% cpu usage driving cpu temp to just under 50 degrees Celsius while pc is in idle. How can I fix this?

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).

 

high cpu usage when task manager is open

i am having issues with cpu usage when i bring up the task manger it shows that cpu usage is 59% with the task manager app using up 30-40% cpu usage in the performance tab it show that my cpu usage is at 80% usage but when using other programs to check
my temps and cpu load etc is shows low 20s when gaming this can pin the cpu up at 100% in task manger

 

Task Manager incorrectly claims 100% CPU usage

Whenever I open task manager, It will constantly say that my CPU usage is at 100% and doesn't seem to dip below 99%, even when otherwise idle. However, my PC is not having any performance issues I would expect with an overloaded CPU. I can run games and benchmarks without issues and results appear to be perfectly normal. Performance monitor, MSI Afterburner and GeForce Experience overlay all suggest my idle CPU usage rarely peaks above 5%. I can only assume there is a bug in Task Manager.

I am running win 10 home on a custom PC with an MSI z490 Gaming Plus motherboard, i7-10700F 2.9GHz 8-core 16 thread CPU, Corsair DDR4-3200 8gb x2, MSI RTX 3060, Crucial P2 M.2 NVME SSDs (2.5tb total)

What could be causing this and how can I correct this?
