system process high cpu usage

Hello,

To fix high CPU usage issue, please refer these steps:

Try to identify the process creating this issue.

Download Process Explorer from Microsoft:

Process Explorer - Sysinternals

Run the tool then select the system process, right-click and select Properties.

Switch to the Threads tab. This will show which file is using the excessive CPU usage, from which you can then attempt to diagnose it.

High system process CPU usage on connecting to the internet.

Hi, DivyanshJoshi,

Thank you for letting me know that you've already tried the steps I suggested, including a clean boot, and are still experiencing high CPU usage from the System process when connecting to the internet.

In that case, it might be helpful to try some additional troubleshooting steps, such as performing a system file check (SFC) scan or checking for problematic drivers or hardware components. Updating your BIOS firmware to the latest version might also be useful.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
