Usage around 50% when not in use is typical.
Usage around 50% when not in use is typical.
I checked my CPU activity when not in use, and it often spiked between 0 and 60%. Was this typical? I usually don’t monitor this beforehand.
It's quite typical for short-term needs. You'll need to look at a broader timeframe to get meaningful results. Also, check the specific CPU you're using and any other relevant details. If you're on a low-end i3, that's likely due to insufficient processing power for background work. With a high-end CPU, it shouldn't be an issue. In either case: Review your startup processes.
