If your computer is doing nothing, it should be nowhere near 40% usage. Sort by CPU usage on 'processes' and see whats at the top.

Hi, I am pretty familiar with computers but I cant quite get this problem solved. I have an HP envy x360 laptop with a Ryzen 5 2500u. For the most part is performs well but for some reason it is idiling at 66-74 degrees. I looked through task manger for any underlying program that was running but the cpu usage was still below 40 percent for the most part. The fans are ramping up and the computer is not cooling down. Any advice on what I should do? I have attached a screenshot  of CPUID hardware manager with temps and task manger with cpu usage.

40% CPU usage =/= idle. Something is putting a load on the CPU, which is heating up the CPU.

Thank you all for the quick response, this is why I love the computer community. The problem was HP support assistant. I though I uninstalled it but I guess not.  

Did that fix the problem?
