Temperatures on the CPU increased significantly following the Windows 11 22H2 update.
post-update CPU heat rises quickly on Windows 11 22h2 while gaming; thermal paste change didn't help. Using an ASUS TUF gaming laptop, temperature stays around 95°C even during gameplay.
temperature stayed stable between 70 to 90 degrees when opening the armor crate. I also saw spikes under 50% cpu usage before reaching 100% utilization, with the graphics card hitting 65-70 degrees Celsius or higher. FPS remained locked in every game because I use a laptop.
Which laptop are you operating? Its CPU and GPU specifications aren't very revealing. Laptop processors typically run hot—often near 95°C—and what matters more is how much power it uses. My 10750H in the Asus ROG Strix G17 stays around 95°C during gaming, but it draws about 45W, which is quite efficient given the cooling setup for that machine.
I'm running an ASUS TUF F15 i5 10300 H CPU with an NVIDIA 1650 Ti GPU. I always use MSI Afterburner during games just to keep an eye on performance, not to overclock. Before the Windows 11 22 H2 update, games like Euro Truck Simulator 2 ran smoothly with under 15% CPU usage and temperatures below 80°C. After the update, the CPU began reaching 95% even at the same percentage.
Your CPU performance at 95°C is being monitored, and your GPU power usage is also tracked. Previous metrics are available if you recall. There could be background processes active, though overall usage remains stable. If your CPU draws less power now, the thermal paste might have worn down, but it seems unlikely to degrade that quickly.
initially i believed the issue was related to my thermal paste, but then fixed it. now my cpu draws less than 10 watts while playing euro truck, whereas before it was over 30 or 35 watts. my charger isn’t supplying enough power, causing overheating and draining the battery. the battery light turns red during this, which is frustrating. i’m not sure why asus tuf f15 claims a 150-watt charger but the laptop uses more than that when under full load, making the charger hot and affecting battery life.
Are there any other processes running in the background? The increased CPU usage likely accounts for the higher temperature. This could also be linked to Euro Truck Simulator following an update. However, the power brick seems unusual—why would they add a brick that can't even supply enough power for its intended laptop?
Hey, same situation here. Running on Windows 11 22H2, Ryzen 5600X, RTX 3070. After a couple days of updates (not specifically 22H2 since I was already updated), while playing Warzone I’m experiencing sudden heavy CPU usage spikes. Temperatures usually stay between 46 to 53°C, but now I see random jumps up to 68°C lasting about 8 seconds—especially when the fans are loud. I’ve checked for viruses and malware, but nothing found. I think there might be a way to track what’s causing this, though I’m not sure how. Around the same time as the Windows update, I installed the latest Nvidia driver and plan to revert it to see if that’s the issue.
