You could try using Process Hacker to track down the process causing this. The task manager is not good enough
Hi and hello, I have had this problem where my computer randomly has its CPU at 30% on idle and after adding up all open processes CPU usage I do not reach said 30% or 60% or 40%, etc. Leading me to think I might have some kind of miner that neither Defender nor MWbytes can detect.
This started happening after a 2-week break from touching my PC.
Is there any AV that could detect it? (hopefully free or with trial)
Or an app that shows true CPU usage?
Thanks for clicking!
