Cause its an old and weak CPU. Check task manager what apps and programs thats utilizing it the most.

Not that old! 32nm, on par with CELL, which is still fast today!

Good idea though, might be the infamous "windows 1 minute boot load" phenomenon. (thats my guess actually )

Check the rest of what he said. You need to check task manager and organize the processes by CPU usage to see what's actually using the CPU.

what it does is when an application is taking, lets say 70% and i end the task, the task after the one i just ended takes 70% aswell until it gets to system which i can't end.

on some systems windows uses a lot of resources for 1-2 minutes after boot. It stops doing that though *when left alone* 

 

you also really should end any tasks, unless you know exactly what you're doing.

 

just let it run for a couple of minutes, see if it settles down (it should)

ok i have news, the disk is at 100% and then cools down to 0% after some time but the cpu stays 100% the whole time even when every task is at 0%

the only 2 tasks using cpu are system interrupt and desktop window manager

and that makes up for 100% usage? 

 

try sorting for cpu usage maybe its something else going on (like updates or something)

oh man, 1709… i think whats happening is this is just a too big jump to newest version, probably a bug, but Ive seen this before.

Not sure how to fix it honestly, other than reinstall (which means you'll need to back up any data you want to keep)

The problem is not present in safe mode I just checked. You got any idea what it could be now?
