  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. Task Manager GPU readout not correct.

    Hello! I've got a 2-GPU system that I'm using to run Folding@Home. This, naturally, fully loads both graphics cards. However, Windows Task Manager only shows a 0-2% load on the cards. This also occurred when running a video game for a more normal GPU task.
    Radeon Settings, GPU-Z, and MSI Afterburner all correctly showed usage at 99%, as well as my video card's light-up 'Tachometer'. Why is task manager failing to detect this load?

    CPU and GPU usage at 100% until task manager is opened

    Recently, I have been seeing that my CPU temperature is extremely high (80C) during idle or browsing internet and this changes when I open task manager to check what is using my CPU so much. As soon as i open task manager, my cpu usage goes down from 100% to 6-10%.

    I am familiar with the bug from windows that causes the CPU usage to be at 100% when you open task manager for a split second before it can read the temperature and that's why i use msi afterburner to read my CPU and GPU usage as well as temperature.

    During idle, when my laptop is plugged in and left unattended without task manager open, but with msi afterburner open, my CPU temps go crazy while my CPU usage gets rocketed at 100%. This also happens with the GPU sometimes.

    I have read online about this and someone said it could be a virus that uses crypto mining software to hijack my hardware. This is a big issue as when i am doing my work it constantly causes interruptions if i dont have task manager open.

    I need help to fix this and how to prevent this from happening in the first place I have run multiple virus and antimalware checks which have not changed anything yet.

    thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
