Hey EightForums community.
I don't know why, for some reason, my CPU is always at 100%. I double-check under the Performance tab and it confirms it.
As soon as I close the offending programs that are eating up the usage, other processes just take its place.
Here are a few examples:
I did a malware scan via MalwareBytes and used Windows Defender, restarted the system and still can't figure out what's wrong.
The OS is on an SSD that was installed on it a few months ago, so relatively new system.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
David
