Hey, I just ran a benchmark and it says my CPU (i7 6700k unlocked) is performing bad because 65% is being used by background processes. I went in to task manager to see what was going on and no programs are using even near that, it looks fine. Any help.

check the process tab, then arrange the CPU usage from high to low. make sure also that you're the admin of your PC to allow you to view "Show Process from all users".

 

if you're on idle and not doing anything, you should be able to see your CPU usage around 0-5%.

I used user benchmark for the test, does that program cause this?

Need to ensure no programs are running when using it. And the pc is on high performance. Won’t get decent results other wise and the benchmark is pretty useless as a whole.
