CPU jumps to 100 and fans sound like jet engines

However the log captures everything so is big

Long version:

the log captures every single activity on your PC be it registry read, write, process action etc by every single process, and so therefore the log is very very long and detailed.

at this point i am ready to give up :/
as long as this isnt damaging my hardware, i really couldnt give a damn.

this isnt damaged my hardware is it? 😅

I can understand your frustration- consumers should not be faced with technical challenges by products use by billions. But that's where we are.

Your laptop is specified to be compatible with 1803 by DELL
Dell computers tested for Windows 10 April 2018 Update and previous versions of Windows 10 | Dell UK

You could take this up with Dell, on their forum, or if new, see if you can return it to DELL.

You can
- live with it
- return to 1709 and hide the 1803 upgrade
- resolve it

I'm not going to try to comment on whether damage is done, but you will probably notice performance lags if doing something more intensive. Higher temperature tends to reduce life.

Another approach- similar symptom I think-
CPU load spikes TSP 2.11.3.17 Windows 10 1803 (180504) | NI Community Forum
You could try disabling superfetch and see what happens.

See post #6
Again a technical tool.


Feel free to search further: e.g.

And you could try (very simplistically) a process of elimination:
Safe Mode, Clean boot...

Just checked, and seems like avast is the highest cpu usage program when i opened task manager, when this "issue" occured again. not sure what the antivirus is doing :/
