One of the threads on my laptop is always pinned even at idle.

I know the screenshot of task manager is in Chinese.

Rogue process. You have a lot of freeware programs on your desktop, entirely within the realm of possibility that one has implanted malware using your CPU to mine.

I never had this problem until I updated 2 days ago.

And the CPU of another computer (Core i3-7100) with all of these programs wasn't even hitting 10% at idle on any of the cores.

As in updated Windows? If that's the case, I'd lean more towards a rogue process and not CPU hijacking. Running Windows Update again might find the file.

And task manager shows that the program "system" using up the most cpu resources at idle.

Is that because of the Meltdown fix?
