CPU idles at 9-10% out of all sudden

[dimaris727]

This literally started today for no reason. I went to check on MSI Afterburner and the CPU temp was unusually a bit higher. I thought it was a memory leak but the ram looks good. CPU used to be around 31-33c and now its an 50c. The weird thing is that as soon as i use the PC the usage drops. I know that the temp isn't high enough to cause damage but i feel uncomfortable having it at 50c idle when im doing nothing. I've tried restarting the PC and it doesn't seem to fix the issue, i have a feeling it has to do with windows cause during gaming, temps are perfectly normal like they used to be. I just cant seem to spot the problem as the temps are fine when im using the PC. Im almost certain i have no virus or a miner or some shit cause i haven't downloaded anything from chrome in weeks.

 

Specs if needed:

Ryzen 5 5600G (Using iGPU)

16GB DDR4 (Dual Channel)

AMD Stock Cooler

Gigabyte B450M S2h V2

look at task manager and see what's using the CPU.

I edited the original post, when im using the pc usage drops to normal 0-2 again. its only when im away from the PC that it does that.

leave task manager open and let it idle

After doing so for a bit, these 3 were the ones adding up to 11%, what does this mean?

All of these are system processes, so it looks like Windows is doing something in the background.

Yep, Windows does Windows thing (configuring etc) when the system is idle. It's made that way so it wont slow down the user experience when the user is trying to do user things.

I turned off Photos and some other apps not needed in the Background apps on windows settings and that seemed to do the trick? I came back to my pc and it was running normally, both the CPU and iGPU at 30c. Idk what photos was doing in the background but i guess this was the issue. Not sure though
