Blue spinning pin wheel, program not responding?

Hello

Cursor in Windows 7 64bit spinning non-stop.

I opened Task Manager, clicked on "Processes" Tab, and then CPU. The program with a continuous high reading (86 To 90) is "System file Process," User Name: "SYSTEM."

Can anyone tell me how to stop this?

Thanx.

Good morning, @athman8

Hi zbook,

I'm thinking that I might go whole hog, wipe this install and start again. I've run in clean boot mode with user apps disabled but still can't for the life of me figure out the spinning circle. There's not really any other user suggestions coming through and I figure a clean start could be an easy way to eliminate the problem. What do you think?

Proceeding with clean installation.

I've just finished a clean installation of Win 10 1709. I have the chipset, sata drivers, macrium reflect, Nvidia drivers and Chrome installed. Before I absolutely lose my mind please tell some blue loading circle is normal at this stage? Is there anything you'd like to look at with the system in this current state?

On it.

The spinning circle within Google Chrome is very much the same prior to the clean install and I wonder if this could indicate a bad Chrome user profile. Thoughts?
