Solved Windows explorer, taking up 20%CPU all time

[suc1338]

Hello, I recently bought a brandnew i7 samsung laptop.

But the problem is, the windows explorer is taking up 20% CPU all time even peaks to 25-30%.
And when i go to taskmanager and press end-task(windows explorer) the laptops stops making the loud fan-noises and also the CPU usage is back to normal


(i hope the language in the screenshots are no problem)
common terms are: beschikbaar = avaible, geheugen = memory, snelheid = speed, in gebruik = usage,


I'm very confused about what to do, I tried different forums but nobody could help me find an answer. I hope you guys from 8forums can help me out and fix this persistant problem.

ps: My apologies for my bad english, I tried my best to explain the problem.


SOLVED:
1) Open C:Windows/Temp
2) Delete all the data
3) Open task manager
4) Terminate explorer.exe
5) Start a new explorer.exe
6) Problem solved.

Can you expand the very last picture to show the sub menu activity as shown below?

for some reason something was @ 100% when i took screenshot, but now its back to normal at 10%, but still my CPU is still high and will never change, untill i decide to terminate the explorer, what causes me not to make full use of the system :s.

25% is just too much -.-​

What is that melia folder/process the explorer appears to be running?

 

[suc1338]

melia is just a folder, im at the office currently, and the project is called: melia. its nothing serious besides some java/css/xhtml files

OK, but it sure looks like explorer is trying to do something with it and it shouldn't appear there unless you have something open (or running) in the background. However, if you do have "anything" open in explorer, you should have closed it down before sending that last image.

I just restarted my pc, the folder isnt active anymore, and no programs are running. But still the windows explorer is continuesly on 20-25% :s

this looks a lot like mine. 22% max cpu

20-22% CPU usage. is the max for the system. I had upgraded to the same processor (i7-4700mq @ 2.4 GHz) on a windows 7 machine. It ran nice and fast. That system had a hard drive issue, so I returned it. They swapped it for a windows 8 machine, and I'm overclocked to 3.27-3.31 GHz, and my program gets stuck when I do a lot.


Mine is Firefox vs Explorer. I am a tab person, and I open a few too many, and it acts like the CPU is at 100% only its at 22%. It does not appear to be a looped script, its just I have a couple too many tabs, and at 20% I get frustrated because with windows 7 it was zippy.

Ok, so if the above solution doesn't work, move all the items present on the desktop to a folder and move it in another drive (say, D:\Your folder\) and restart the explorer.exe using task manager.
