A lot of problems...

[vonsillea]

So this happens every time i boot up my computer and this is at idle. It's been doing this forever and I'm not sure why even after looking at many other forums. Its causing major slowdown I feel in games. My disk and memory are the most worrying. The first one is idle and the second it under load. Can anyone explain why this happens? I should also add that my PC is prebuilt so maybe the BIOS is broken or something. I'm not sure.

GPU: R9 380

CPU: fx-8320

windows doing a virus scan in the background? Like seriously you could just check on the first tab of Task Manager

Maybe Window Update, you can open Resource Monitor to check.

most annoying case is the windows update, getting errors and retries endlessly.

 

also continuous scanning programs in background or even malware

at last resort, reinstall windows

I reinstalled everything yesterday on my computer, files and all were wiped and a fresh download was installed.

As @Jurrunio said, it could be the virus scan in the background.

1. Open Windows Security.
2. Go to Virus & threat protection.
3. Click and Quick scan and immediately click Cancel.
4. Check the performance tab on Task Manager to see if the % goes down.

Edit:
Alternatively, you can disable some background apps.
1. Press Windows key+I. Go to Privacy. Scroll down and select Background apps.
2. Disable the unwanted apps.

To disable unwanted applications at startup:
1. Open Task Manager. Open the Start-up tab.
2. Disable the unwanted apps.

It immediately went to 0% then shot right back up again.

Click Open Resource Monitor. Go to Disk tab. Expand Disk Activity, sort Total (B/sec) from highest to low.

 

For CPU &  GPU just sort from Highest to Low in Processes tab.

it says systemsettings.exe and switches sometimes with registry.

This has been happening for a while but I feel like I should blame myself for buying a prebuilt from cyber power PC. It’s always been slower to people’s similarly if not exact same set up as mine. Not to mention when I told cyber power about this they were just like ehh whatever not our problem even tho I paid for them to deal with this sort of thing. 

 

Sorry for a bit of a rant there.
