The processor remains at full capacity even after restarting because of a persistent hardware or software issue.

The memory is confirmed, CPU usage is at 100% in Task Manager but less than 10% in Open Hardware Monitor. It was roughly the same before.
It might work using 100% of one core, even if the rest isn't. Did you update the graph in Task Manager to display Logical Processors?
I checked the scan yesterday and currently it keeps showing the svchost.exe file as stuck.
Open Task Manager, navigate to the Performance section, click on CPU, then right-click the graph and choose [Change graph to] > Logical Processors.
Only some cores are operating at full capacity, as shown in the resource monitor.
Open Resource Monitor, navigate to the CPU section, and click the "Threads" tab. Observe the chart for the highest thread count to identify what’s consuming the most threads.
