    High CPU usage


    Done a full scan with ESET Smart Security and got nothing so that's good. After 10 mins of searching for updates I finally got an error: 0x800705b4 which is strange cause it is related to Defender and that is disabled by ESET. So now I have to deal with that I guess *Sad First time I ever had that error.
    My screen is not big enough to display the long list in process tab and I also opened the 3 that had the processes inside them. Attached in this reply are 5 Processes pics for you to view. I will post another reply with the other 3. Greatly appreciate if you can see anything there that should not be there.

    WIN10 1703 update cause Explorer.exe high CPU usage

    Hi,



    Glad you reached out. First, we would like to know if Explorer.exe
    is the only cause of high CPU usage. Because the common cause of high CPU usage are the following:

    - Windows 10 Memory leak after the update.

    - Driver incompatibilities after the update.

    - Multiple startup applications





    We'll be waiting for your update.
