    High CPU Usage on Windows 10

    [Solved]

    We find that the system CPU usage would go as high as 98%, sometimes even 100%
    in Windows 10 out of no apparent reasons.

    High system CPU usage is not a problem you should neglect. However, the causes of
    this are rather varied: it could be related to OneDrive, Background Task Infrastructure
    Service, Windows spotlight or other apps.
    But there has not a hotfix from Microsoft that works on all computers under all
    environments. In such case, we are to introduce some common work-arounds that
    have helped so many others.

    To fix your system high CPU usage problem, please try the following methods
    below:

    Option One: Modify Settings in Registry Editor


    Option Two: Modify Lock Screen Background
    Option Three: Disable Windows Notification
    Option Four: Disable P2P Share
    Other Options
    Option One: Modify Settings in Registry Editor

    WARNING: Faulty modifying settings in Registry Editor could cause


    irretrievable errors to your system. So before you make any changes, please make sure
    that you have backed up your Registry first.

    1) Press Windows key and R at them same time, and then type in the search box
    regedit and hit Enter.
    When prompted with the administrator permission, click Yes to continue.

    2) Follow the path to locate the correct system files:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TimeBroker
    3) On the right side of the pane, right click Start entry, then choose Modify….
    4) Change the Value data to 4, then hit OK to save the change.

    5) Some features of your Cortana will be affected after the change. If you are a heavy
    user of Cortana, this option might not be appropriate for you.

    Option Two: Modify Lock Screen Background

    Background services are believed to be at fault for what’s happening with the CPU.
    So it is suggested that you disable services related to it.

    1) Click Start button, then choose Settings. In the Settings pane, choose
    Personalization.

    2) On the left side of the pane, choose Lock screen. Then on the right side, choose
    Picture from the drop-down box under Background category.

    Option Three: Disable Windows Notification

    1) Click Start button, then choose Settings. In the Settings pane, choose System.
    2) On the left side of the pane, choose Notifications & actions. Then scroll down a
    little bit on the right side pane, toggle Off the option Get tips, tricks, and suggestions
    as you use Windows.
    Option Four: Disable P2P Share
    1) Click Start button, then choose Settings. In the Settings pane, choose Update &
    security.

    2) Scroll down a little bit until you see Update settings, and then choose Advanced
    options.
    3) Click Choose how updates are delivered.
    4) Then toggle the Updates from more than on place to Off.
    Other Options

    1) Disable or turn of programs and applications that you are not using, especially for a
    while.
    2) Update drivers.
