High CPU usage when using Windows?

Hi. I just upgraded my power supply and graphics card.

 

The problem is I have noticed stuttering in games and Heaven benchmark. I also seem to have high CPU usage -- below I have an attached CPU usage when using Windows normally.

 

What's likely to be causing this? One user told me it could be a CPU bottleneck (I only have a Ryzen 3 2200G), but I have also read online that it could be the fault of the PSU. Thanks in advance :) 

 

Specs:

Ryzen 3 2200G

GTX 1660 Super StormX

BEQUIET BN297 (Power supply)

x2 4GB DDR4 @ 2400MHz

Any chance you using not legit copy of windows? I had similar problem long time ago when using pirated copy of windows, some services was using my cpu and I couldn’t close them down.

Here is what Windows 10 should look like.

Open up the Task Manager, click on the Details tab and sort the processes by CPU usage.  Get rid of the crap that is constantly running in the background and your CPU will stutter less.

@unclewebb This is what my processes look like.

 

The CPU usage spikes up when I'm doing things -- opening tabs, using Windows search etc. etc. Sometimes typing also feels delayed. I don't know if this has anything to do with background programs.
