CPU running hotter since installing Fall Creators Update
I installed the Fall Creators Update a couple of days ago. And ever since, my CPU (AMD FX-8320) has been running temperatures about 4 or 5 degrees Celsius warmer than before, as if it's doing some long CPU-intensive job. But the Task Manager shows nothing of the sort.
With the new Task Manager History feature, I saw that Cortana has managed to use more than 6 minutes of CPU time per day. Is that normal? Could that be what's causing my CPU to run hotter? Or maybe the Indexing Service or Norton Antivirus has gone crazy?
I tried running the CPU cooler fan and case fans on high speed, but even that doesn't bring down my CPU's "fever."
Any ideas? It's annoying because the CPU and case fans are responding to the higher CPU temps by running faster, which has made them noisier.
