I got this PC at my office and its CPU is always on 100% load even by just browsing the web with chrome and some MS Word.

CPU is Core i5 with 8gb RAM

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

Office 365 is another failed project from MS.

OFFICE 2010 IS BEST

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
