CPU usage remains high across all tasks.
CPU usage remains high across all tasks.
I've observed an unusually long CPU usage of seven days, even after turning off my machine for a week. This raises concerns about its origin and whether it affects overall system performance.
Windows 10 doesn't stop running in the usual way; it puts the kernel into hibernation, which only fully resets when the kernel gets updated, like major OS releases. This helps make booting faster from HDDs. I turn off quick boot for a smoother, cleaner start each time, which is just my choice—not because of any known problems. From SSDs, I notice it usually completes a full boot quicker than a quick one. Overall, performance shouldn't be affected unless something unusual happens with the OS.
