CPU Usage problem

[Syke]

Hi everyone, 

I'm new here and kinda a beginner with technical stuff regarding computers.
So I'm having this problem, my CPU is under 55% to 65% usage without any opened applications.
My cpu is i5-4460, win10 Pro. 
Any ideas what's my problem? 
Thanks in advance.

Make sure that all your drivers (all of them, including network) are fully updated. From what I can see, you have something tell your system "STOP everything! I need attention to do something" continuously. Look at System interrupts.

 

If you have a system with special Ethernet card, like Killer or something, uninstall those drivers, and install generic base line drivers for the card, or use another Ethernet controller on your board, and disable the other in the UEFI/BIOS.

All my drivers are updated. I don't have any special Ethernet carrds either.

No that is not how you check for drivers. Here you are only looking at what is available on Windows Update servers, assuming they are any drivers there, else it says that you have the latest drivers if doesn't detect anything. You need to go to the manufacture website, and make sure that:

Your GPU, Sound card, Ethernet, Wireless (if any), printer, keyboard, mouse, USB controller (see motherboard web site for that), SATA controller (if Intel controller it should be part of the motherboard chipset drivers, else see motherboard manufacture website), Motherboard chipset (see Intel website), etc.

 

If nothing helps, then it could be a driver conflict, uninstall your sound, GPU, and Ethernet drivers, restart, and install them back (usually there is a conflict with these 3, but technically speaking, it can be anything with anything).

Looking for the updated drivers one by one is harder than i thought. 
Is there an application that lets me download and install all these drivers at the same time?

You can close this thread now. 
This morning my cpu usage finally dropped to 0% on idle. 
For all the tinkering I did, I don't know which of those worked. 
Here's to hoping this will be permanent. Thanks!
