I recently reinstalled Windows using a bootable USB drive, but Windows Explorer is consuming about 90% CPU all the time. Restarting the task doesn’t improve the situation. I disabled internet access and the CPU usage returned to normal.

I believe it might be related to creating a bootable USB drive. I also experienced this problem, thinking it was due to my computer's performance. It could actually depend more on the disk's write speed than your CPU speed. Computers behave strangely sometimes.

It seems like you're thinking it might be Windows handling file indexing, background updates, or sending telemetry data. Let me know how I can assist further.
