High CPU usage Win10

Hi,

ive got windows10 on my pc installed.

(Microsoft Windows 10 Home (x64) Build 15063.413 (RS2))

 

now i noticed when i got me some coffe, that when i came back my cpu was having one thread on max usage. so my cpu was on 25%, when i touch the mouse or press any key the cpu usage returns back to ~zero. I then ran the observation and waited for it to happen and it shows that "System" is doing this. Pls have a look at the etl file.

It starts exactly after 240seconds not pressing a key or moving the mouse, i started the capturing with the last keystroke and from then it ran 240seconds and the system started calculating...

 

can someone give me advice?

 

as you can see, its like no drive usage. no internet usage as i checked with my onboard program, but also checked the lan port usage via my router.

 

so what exactly is my pc doing? its not defragging, ive got that disabled. also the prefetch or any other stuff i should see as "svchost.exe" no?

 

 

happy for any help =)

thx, Tia

could it be antimalware? i know it can hog resources, especially on new installs.. 

Have you tried to perform a sudden temporary interrupt of the electricity flow to your computational device followed by a re-initialization procedure of the central processing unit and associated components?

Download and run "shutupten" and see if this helps. Original Win10 is swarming with spy functions...aeh i mean "compfort functions".....

As it's done by system then it could be any Windows functions.

I doubt a virus if it's a new install.

 

Could be a virus scan as Windows will do this in the back ground when not doing anything else.

It could also be RAM compression.

It's not a race to the bottom.

I found out today that its the automatic diagnosis from windows. i have a german windows, i dont know the specific name of it. its under action center. weirdly it only uses the cpu, no internet/hdd. its just maxing out one thread and keeps my cpu clocks high while they should be low while idle...

so do i just accept the fact that it runs endless? or can i somehow deactivate it? i think its ment to do some essential stuff like trim or system scanning for hdd failure and so on?

deativating it via the task sheduler? i deactivated the "\Microsoft\Windows\Diagnosis\Scheduled" but that doesnt stop the automated system diagnosis thingy..

anyone knows about that?

look up a bypass to disable the program from even launching. A way i disabled Cortana once was renaming the file that she booted from. Note this may break other features of Windows, use it as a last resort. When i did what i did to Cortana, it broke the Start Menu

i wouldnt know. i havent encountered this issue before, but if you know what the file name of this program is, rename it and it should prevent it from even booting. note this may have unintended consequences.

its still happening, causing cpu usage while on idle
