High CPU Usage

[WickedStarfish]

Over the last few days my desktop has been running extreamly slow (youtube pages stop video playthrough but keep audio playing) so i opened task manager and this is what i was greeted with (my CPU has been between 85 and 100% no matter what i am doing) so is there a way to disable the compatibility assistant without crippling my PC as i have never really done much modifying to computers and i am unsure so i thought i would ask (My CPU is an i5 4670)
