Windows 10: Windows 10 "system" keeps running high power until PC is rebooted for no apparent reason

Since I updated Windows 10 in June/July I have noticed that in task manager the system process creeps up in power and CPU usage levels.

I normally leave my PC running 24 hrs a day and it becomes an issue when it hist 25% of CPU as my CPU fan then switches to high cooling rate.

The added noise is a real problem plus my CPU runs very warm as summer is approaching and local temps are up to 30 DegC plus, this is an even more painful situation.


I have not added anything to my machine nor have I added software that would cause this issue. I have run diskclean, ccleaner to check rego files and find even if I am not using the machine because I am away over the weekend, the problem is still ongoing.


This is similar to the system interrupts issue we had in an earlier update, to stop that issue I have to maintain Task Manager running minimised. So I have a constant view of the CPU levels in my notification area...


I have read and tried all the stock standard scripted troubleshooting answer offered through normal channels, so I was hoping that someone may have investigated this issue and has come up with a solution.

Win 10 keeps rebooting for no apparent reason

My system keeps rebooting for no apparent reason. It happens maybe once a week and usually while I am streaming video on YouTube. The last 2 times it happened Windows generated minidump files which I have stored at the link below, along with a system summary
file.

Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
