    Hello everyone, I've had this issue for about a month, I first noticed it with Chrome, a process started as soon as I turned on my PC, without having anything even open, a lonely Chrome process started running taking up very high CPU and power usage and making my fans go crazy, if I right clicked on the process-open file location, it took me to the correct Chrome folder, if I stopped the process everything went back to normal, if I opened Chrome it showed me the regular amount a lot of Chrome processes but none were doing what that one was. I thought it was Chrome so I reinstalled it and the

    Fix high CPU usage by TiWorker.exe process in Windows 10

    I noticed this today, too. I was not doing anything, Chrome was open but on a static page. Closed Chrome and still noticed high CPU usage. Sort Processes by CPU and it was bouncing 20-30%. Reading that it is the update process so I ran Windows Update
    and there were no updates. I did not look at network activity but CPU Usage declined a little but WTF is is still using so much? And why is it ALWAYS running?

    "Critical" suggests it will crash the system if terminated. I killed the process without any issue.

    High CPU and memory usage on Windows 10 with Microsoft Edge.

    Wow, this reply really nailed it. For both Edge and Firefox, I monitored the CPU usage and picked a process with high CPU usage. I killed 1 process per app and the CPU went down to under an average of 10%.

    One connection was Fox News (Firefox), but can't see which one was stopped in Edge.

    Great suggestion!

    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 - Windows 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.
