chris wollen Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 lenovo lap top A9 2.4gh 4gb ram. it seems using task manager any time i launch an app the cpu flat lines at 100%, before I can trace what task is using the cpu it drops back to 12%. If I leave task manger open and scroll using the mouse the cpu again reaches 100% and drops back when I stop. If I leave the laptop on chrome and do nothing for a couple of minuets then attempt to open mail it will not and task manager shows 100% again. have av installed any help or is it me thanks Quote
KenB Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 Hi and welcome to ExTS 12% CPU usage on idle seems to indicate that you have something running in the background. The normal CPU usage should be around 2-3 % Download MalwareBytes [free] from here - click here It may give you a free trial of the pro version then revert to the free version. Install - update and run it. If it finds anything we will have to ask Starbuck to take a look at your system - he is our security expert.

ExTS Admin Starbuck Posted March 11, 2021 ExTS Admin Posted March 11, 2021 Hi Chris, Just jumping in with a couple of quick questions, while Malwarebytes is running... have av installed What AV do you have installed? Also, when this happens, have you checked to see if Windows Update is running and downloading anything? I've just had a similar problem and traced it back to Windows Update stuck on trying to download an update. 1 Quote Member of:UNITE
