"system" using 99% gpu usage while playing Minecraft

[peepoo]

Task manager shows 'system' going to 99% usage when playing Minecraft

 

I think its some sort of virus but idk how to get rid of it

It starts as soon as I load up a Minecraft world

Soon as I quit Minecraft, it goes back down to appropriate idle usage

What graphics do you have?

Is that your RX 5600 XT? You might have no framerate limiter so the GPU tries its hardest to paint as many frames per second as possible. Try to limit fps in the game settings to your monitor's refresh.

I did. no difference, stayed at a 5-10 fps range

Welp, this also may be a software issue or a virus attack, or maybe a minecraft glitch, the best thing which SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS (Most) IS to restart your computer, make sure your %temp% folder is clear, if that doesnt solve it (Which i guess makes sense), You have to go the BIG way, backup only the necessary things, Install windows again, and it will probably fix the issue, if it still doesn't (Which is impossible) Then im out of solutions

I'm literally have the EXACT same problem. I think we both have 5600XTs and I was wondering if you have figured out what was wrong yet.

Try updating or rolling back your graphics card drivers.

Updated driver and rolled back driver, nothing changed.

sorry for late response, I have marked the solution but will summarise it in 1 sentence, reinstall windows.

 

I think its a virus that came with a program that you've downloaded.

From what I can understand, the virus 'latches' onto a vital part windows 10 (in this case, "system"), so that it can hide with system processes, and when an application is loaded (I have no idea why its specifically Minecraft) the virus 'activates' and starts using the graphics card to start mining for digital currency or something of the sort.
Inform me if my explanation is wrong because this is all inference.
