    100% CPU usage for no reason


    Hello everyone! So i've been experiencing quite high CPU usage (100% non stop) for no reason, i've checked my hardware/software but nothing seems to cause any issues. My PC is always using it's full CPU power even if it is task manager. I have used an antivirus (bitdefender) but it showed me nothing. Please help.

    To get a better display.
    View > Untick the Group by Type.
    And/or click on column heading to sort CPU column. Highest usage at top.
    Just easier to see usage.

    There are currently some bugs in the Task Manager some users are experiencing, so I would not put much faith in what it is indicating.

    Keep updated.
