What are your system specs? I sometimes have found this during a automatic update. 

[Gapehorn]

System specs are :

Cpu : i7-4770

Mobo : idk some prebuilt shit

Ram : 8GB

Its a prebuilt system i got 3 years ago , but im building a new system with some of the parts from this one .

Hi. Can you please click the little arrow outside the process and screenshot it so we can see exactly what service is using the cpu?

Check Windows update and see if it's installing updates. Looks like Windows Update.

Let it be for a few hours. If it's stuck at the same update after a few hours you should try and restart.

Open file explorer and open the Windows folder. Then search after a file called Windows Update log. Can you try and attach it on here?

Open the start menu and type Control Panel instead. Then under System and Security click Find and solve problems. Then under System and Security click Solve problems with Windows Update. A window should pop up and there should be a button called Advanced. Click it and click Run as Administrator.
