I was facing a problem where my computer ran much faster when Task Manager was open compared to when it was closed. After several virus and rootkit scans came back clean, I realized using Performance Monitor could help identify CPU-heavy processes. It turned out Windows Explorer itself was causing the CPU to spike to 100% when Task Manager was off. Resetting Explorer resolved the issue completely. My performance improved further, but the problem reappears after rebooting. Manually restarting Explorer each time I start my computer isn’t ideal. Have you encountered this situation before? Do you know of any solutions or causes for Explorer to behave strangely?

No, I don't use the older Oculus Rift with Windows 11.

To achieve 150 FPS in Warzone, you'll need a GPU that can handle the game's demands smoothly. Make sure your graphics card supports at least 1080p resolution and has enough VRAM for the settings you're using. If you're struggling, consider upgrading to a more powerful card or adjusting settings like resolution or quality.

I don't perform a full SFC/scannow check here. Let me know if you need help with anything else!

No virtual reality goggles used. Running Windows 10. Featured in my profile. EVGA FTW 3080. Avoided GPU overclocking. Completed several sessions recently but won’t attempt another just for you, lol. EDIT: No problems detected.
