CPU problem after Anniversary Update on Windows 10
Apologies if this problem has been addressed before.
On Sunday my laptop (bought new in May of this year) running Windows 10 Home 64 bit updated via Windows Updates to the Anniversary Update.
All seemed to go well but now my CPU is running at almost 100% all the time. From the searching I have done on the Internet I see I am far from being alone in experiencing this problem.
I am reasonably competent on computers for day to day stuff but this is a bit more technical for me. However I 'think' I may have found the culprit for this CPU problem but I don't know what to do about it and would appreciate help if anyone here knows how to fix this.
Looking in the Task Manager I see that there are 5 instances of the Windows host process (Rundll32) running in the background each using approximately 15% of my CPU which adding them all up is a fair chunk of my CPU. What are these processes and do I need them etc; etc; How can I get them to 'back off' so to speak and give me back my CPU.
Sorry if I am not expressing myself very well but hope you understand.
