    Winlogui.exe causes high CPU usage and temps


    So I recently did a long-needed upgrade for my computer and replaced my CPU, motherboard, and ram but for some reason when I boot into windows 10, the CPU usage jumps to 100% and the temp gets as high as 95*C. I've tried checking task manager but weirdly enough it restores the usage and temps when opened back to 2% usage and 30-40*C.


    This isn't a major issue, as it only happens when I boot up and will only stop if I open task manager, but I'm very curious as to why this is happening. I opened up process explorer and found out that winlogui.exe is the cause, but I'm unsure what the program is and if it's a good idea to remove it. People have said this is a bitcoin miner, but I've seen this exe on many other computers so I don't know.

    :)

    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.

    Winlogui.exe causes high CPU usage and temps

    WIN10 1703 update cause Explorer.exe high CPU usage

    I am using Surface Pro 3 (i5, 8G RAM)

    After WIN10 v1703 update, Windows Explorer uses ~30-40% CPU.

    If I uncheck "Show thumbnails instead of icons" in the Performance Options, the CPU usage of Windows Explorer reduces to ~0%

    Any suggestion why showing thumbnails cause so high CPU usage in v1703?

    Thanks!
