Monitor CPU activity in Windows 11 using Task Manager.
So I have upgraded to windows 11 recently and I have experienced issues right away. My CPU usage is 100% in task manager and when I check usage in NZXT cam it is usually below 15%. Is it a windows 11 task manager bug or my cpu is running at 100% always. Before I upgraded to windows 11 cpu usage was below 40% all the time. And cpu temperatures are higher than usual. Does anyone knows how to fix this, or should I reinstall everything and boot a new windows? Please help I don't know what to do My PC specifications: CPU - Ryzen 7 3800x (Cooled with NZXT Kraken Z63) Motherboard - MSI Tomahawk B550 GPU - Asus TUF RTX 3080 RAM - HyperX 32GB 3200MHz 900W power supply These are pictures from task manager and NZXT cam:
This situation often arises because of background processes that aren't visible. Running the machine in safe mode would likely resolve it. You might want to turn off all non-essential programs in the Startup section of Task Manager and then restart. The problem isn't a built-in feature of Windows 11; it probably stems from the upgrade combined with an outdated, possibly poorly maintained version of Windows 10. A fresh installation is usually the best solution.
I upgraded it two days ago and kept it running for 2 to 3 more hours after installation.
The tools relying on your screen capture are the ones you need to turn off. Stopping them from launching with this advice would be a good first step.
I relocated to 11 for new systems a year ago, and that's the plan I'd follow, particularly if you're planning to replace it. Either option would be fine.
Thank you for your message. I was worried about potentially harming my CPU, but a fresh installation might resolve the issue.
