Seems like it found some corrupt files. Hopefully it won't happen again.

I've started the scan now. If it finds something I'll come back with an update. I only one 3 apps allowed on startup so that's fine.

No i didn't. I have no idea what this is caused by, it could be indexing. For the last 5 minutes the ram usage has been slowly dropping and now it sits at 150-200mb so idk

If I navigate to a file the second explorer.exe ram usage increases lightly and the first one stays the same.

It's been happening for a while. I've done a bunch of restarts and scans and nothing.

It's not doing it all the time, but yes after a restart and after a random amount of time my fans will start spinning fast and explorer starts using 2gb of ram. It happens daily

Right clicking > go to file location just sends me to the system32 explorer.exe ( for both explorer.exe instances)

Lately I've noticed my laptop, when idle, starts to ramp up it's fans. Checked task manager and saw explorer.exe is using 2.08gb of ram and 20% cpu(after booting tm the cpu utilisation dropped to 0 in a few seconds). In the attached photo you can see the explorer.exe process that uses the ram and how there is ANOTHER explorer.exe that doesn't. If i force close the weird explorer task, nothing happens, but if I close the second one the usual, no desktop/taskbar stuff happens. My question is how can I find what program/file causes this or even if this is actually a virus of just normal windows stuff.

The issues seems to be fixed now. Thank a lot for the replies.

Well sir I don't wanna talk to soon or jinx myself but it seems that setting the tdp to 60 fixed it. It's been stable at 53 watts for 5 minutes straight now. I think it all started with this ryzen controller thing. I saw a dude on youtube setting his tdp to 15 or something like that to avoid thermal throttling so I did the same, but after I saw the shit results and not that much better temps I just unchecked the box applied and closed the program. I assume somehow the low tpd was still in action and that affected my performance. I will also make a test run with the software off and if it holds I'll come back. Thanks a lot.

2 sticks of 8gb running at 3200mhz cl22. My bios updated itself when i first got it so i assume it is.

As the title says, for the past 2 days I've notices random drops in frames during gaming(I'm not sure if it has anything to do with my problem) so I decided to check if my laptop was overheating. Using the BMW blender scene I decided to stress test the CPU and noticed that after around a minute, the cpu clock speed drops from 3.9ghz to 3.2ghz and the temps drop from low 80s to high 60s. Also I've noticed using HWMonitor that the "Powers" goes from high 50s watts to around 40. These are 2 screenshot before and after the drop in performance: And after: You can see the power package drop from 50 to 34. No thermal throttling. The fans go almost silent. If I go into the battery and move the slider from "Perfomance" to "Battery saver" and back to "Perfomance" the clock speed goes back up and the process repeats itself. -all profiles are on performance -the fan curve is set into the armory crate software to be run by windows. -my laptop is plugged in -it's only 2 weeks old so the thermal paste is good

nope

they are not disabled

could they randomly disable over night? I havent checked
