Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super OC | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500gb | NZXT H200i | NZXT x52 | Corsair RM650x

I think it is virus cause i5 cannot have 100 % on these tasks.

If virus scan doesnt work backup your data and reinstall Windows

you'd be amazed what a broken browser or office 365 can be capable of xD

Seems like it is caused by a bad startup, WMIPrvSE.exe is part of the windows Operating system. Maybe you should try reinstalling windows.

Do a clean install of windows. For me it fixed 100%ram usage and 100% CPU usage

If you're not running anything and it's at 100%, do a malware scan.. your system might be infected with Malware..
