Constant 100% CPU Usage - Windows 10

[C1intFunWood]

Hey guys,

 

I started up my computer for the first time in two days. I went onto my usual activities, but then I quickly realized my computer started running extremely slowly and occasionally freezing when using chrome. I checked the task manager and it displays almost 100% CPU usage, but the processes' CPU usage don't add up. I tried doing a full malware scan using multiple different programs and a second time in Safe Mode and I've reset my PC while keeping my files. However, I've noticed that when in Safe Mode or when booting into Mac OS X (Dual Boot Machine) it works fine and CPU usage isn't high.

happens to me too, don't know what the deal with that is. 

 

pretty sure that antimalware thing is windows defender. after a while it'll stop, thats what happens with mine.

The problem is that my PC is running slower than usual. If I run cinebench r15, I'll score 300-380 rather than the usual 500-600

virus scans and other stuff. Do it now. Uninstall utorrent and use malwarebytes

I've done that and nothing has been showing up in scans

had the same issue too, update your motherboards BIOS, that solved the problem for me and thousands of others (Asus Z170 Pro Gaming)
