System performance remains consistently high at over 90% utilization.
System performance remains consistently high at over 90% utilization.
Hey, I saw the same thing a few days back. My laptop’s processor (i7-8750H) is consistently running at over 90% usage, even when it’s idle. It often reaches 100%. I’m not sure what to do—should this be normal or is something seriously wrong? Also, I have 16GB of RAM and a GTX1060 with 6GB. Thanks in advance! Elwyn
You might have received something suspicious that’s consuming your CPU for its own purposes. Any files you’ve downloaded recently before they happened? This is completely unusual behavior.
When you open the details section, it highlights that a non-active system process is consuming the highest resources. I don’t understand exactly which one it is, but there might be a way to identify it. *Apologies for the delayed response; we’re currently reviewing our kitchen setup*
The PC's idle status indicates how much it's not doing work. Review the chart to see if it's busy. https://www.howtogeek.com/411569/what-is...-much-cpu/ This won't make the graph jump or show red system processes. Look for the specific process turning red—click its order in the list. The example you mentioned shows yellow and 50% system idle. If it's only during startup, drivers might be loading. Continuous activity could point to Windows updates. A system monitor can assist in identifying the issue.
They probably made some updates already, as everything seems okay now. Appreciate the responses!
