I've posted this on numerous forums tomshardware etc and even windows 10 support and still haven't found a solution to my problem :( it goes away when i reboot but that gets rather annoying after a while!

 

Please help!

No issues in any other applications? Hardware utilization is normal?

 

Have you tried terminating and restarting the explorer.exe?

Nope everything has been running smooth no other problems with windows 10 at all!

 

Nope i've not tried that the problem goes away once i reboot and it works fine and after time it just starts again out of nowhere 

Hmm. I was thinking explorer could be corrupt. For whatever reason, some things randomly corrupt with Win 10 installs. Not sure why. One thing you can do is terminate and rename explorer and then run sfc /scannow, and it will replace the .exe. There's apparently another solution, don't know if you've tried it. It's called DISM?

 

It talks about it a bit on this page. Hell, I just tried it and it's brining up errors for me and I'm not even having any problems.

Do you think DISM option is worth a try? i tried the sfc scannow and said there was no problems what so ever lol when something is clearly not right here

It doesn't take much time, and it's free, so why not I suppose. 

 

The commands are:

DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

DISM /online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

 

Do try manually restarting explorer the next time that happens though.

 

Here's a batch script to restart explorer:

 

@echo off

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
start explorer.exe

 

Just create a notepad, paste it in, save it as Restart Explorer.bat, and change the file type to all. That'll allow you to restart it just by double clicking the icon.

Everything you showed is 100% GPU rendered.

I believe the problem is a bug in your graphics card drivers. Update them to the latest version.

If that doesn't help, break your SLI setup for now, by only having 1GPU in your system, is your problem solved now?

I made the restart explorer.bat and it worked like a charm! and yeah i know its all gpu rendered! I've had a problem with DDU (display driver uninstaller) when i boot into safe mode with the program and do the clean wipe recommended once i get back to my desktop and go into my C driver there's still a Nvidia folder in there... There never used to be on windows 7 when i used that program which is really weird

 

I'll have to keep check of if it does it again as keep having to use that .bat all the time is going to get rather annoying after a while lol but i really appreciate the help and the idea of the .bat :) also did the DISM and i came back with nothing corrupted etc :(

You can terminate and rename explorer then run sfc /scannow to have windows generate a new copy if you suspect the old one is corrupt.That MAY help if it's explorer that's corrupted. How have your performance readings been from Task Manager? Any excessive storage or memory access?

It seems okay when i first boot my pc up and get into windows i get around 20% ish usages for a minute or so then it goes back down to normal. I'm pretty sure its that System Idle Processes doing its thing 

System Idle Processes is not a process. It shows you how much idle your computer is. When it is at 100% CPU, it means it uses 0% of the CPU.
