High CPU usage: (peaks)
I first posted in another person’s thread, but have been advised to post my own, so here goes with my problem.
High CPU usage: (peaks).
I only notice it early mornings after switching computer on for the day, because I listen to music over Jango Radio then, and the sound gets totally distorted - I haven’t really noticed it at other times (but?).
Through Task Manager I saw that some background use was peaking right up into the 90+ %, but couldn’t find out what.
Today I got a bit of help after downloading Sysinternals Process Explorer
I won’t pretend I understand anything of this software – way above and far out of my league – but it does have a graph part that shows the peaks and tells you what, so:
Main culprit: taskhostw.exe (peaking in CPU at as much as 97/98 %)
in Process Explorer there usually follows some number after (maybe designating what is using it?), like: taskhostw.exe9596 or 4640/12112/10024/8480/9160/9068/10116
at times it is a group of culprits one after the other (briefly), like:
taskhostw.exe (97%)/interrupts (94%)/procexp64.exe (%? But high)/ skypehost.exe1592 or 9236 (63,90% or 84%)/ svchost.exe9884/1032/8480
skypehost.exe : On a website I read about skypehost.exe, that in W10, the app in Store causes Background peaking, while the Desktop version of Skype does not. I use the desktop version. But I have (hopefully) now uninstalled the Store version (there were two versions installed on my computer), and hope this is one problem less?
That leaves:
taskhostw.exe (main offender)
interrupts
procexp64.exe
svchost.exe (1032/8480)
WmiPrvSE.exe (12488)
Tiworker.exe(11880)
Afternoon: I have now been listening to music over Jango Radio for the last 45 minutes or more without any sound distortion.
This would/might suggest that the high peaks in the morning are connected to updates (and such like) searches, or?
This is all I can say on the subject – totally freaked out with such stuff – way out of my capabilities.
(I also downloaded Securities Task Manager and ran that, but could not see anything that might be causing a problem.)
