When were you assigned to the admin role? I didn’t mean to be rude, but I haven’t encountered you in that capacity before.
It's good to investigate, though it accounts for just one-fifth of the issue. There are many specialized peripheral programs, all consuming excessive resources for background work (Logitech, Razer, SteelSeries, another Razer), plus a web application. It seems like the computer's task manager is running at low power settings, while your performance metrics display normal operation.
Windows performance percentage is more about how much resources are being used over time, not how much work is actually completed. The 9700K lacks HT support. If it existed, it would perform identical tasks while displaying only half the resource usage percentage.
Confirmed briefly and found fluctuating results from 0% to 2% (excluding resource-heavy programs). Probably a virus running in stealth mode on an OPS PC. Reason likely tied to memory usage patterns.
This reminds me of the times when malware tried to exploit your system for cryptocurrency mining.
