Umm, yeah, any update Microsoft doesn't require I avoid like the plague. I always skip it.

Well, next thing I'd try is running 'SFC /scannow' in the CMD window, preferably in safe mode...you know, to be safe.

Yes, it can't run while booted to that drive. You have to let it do it at boot. Hit yes and reboot.

Yeah, just type "Y", but I doubt its gonna fix your issue anyway. Does it still show a high usage rate when disconnecting from the internet? Like when not using a browser? 

[HandyAndy]

Have you tried setting the apps that are taking up a lot of CPU power to a lower priority setting? Ex. Task manager > details > whichever app, like discord > set priority> low

I'll be honest, this doesn't make a lot of sense. I know you said you did it already but if this was my PC, i'd be making a fresh Win11 (Win 10 if that's your thing) USB installer using a USB stick and wiping that drive with a clean install. As soon as I booted back up into a fresh desktop i'd check task manager.

 

I'm certain this is something with the OS until I can see otherwise.

Yeah, you might have to completely wipe it out with a true clean install. Just back up what personal files you can. You can always install the actual programs themselves later. And yeah, I'd try a scan with malwarebytes just to be sure.

Try run LatencyMon to see if it driver related. https://resplendence.com/latencymon

Wait.. how are you able to confirm its fixed if you can't POST? 

[Bad5ector]

I would have been interested what the Resource Monitor was saying under the CPU tab.
