   Iansville,

 

High CPU usage but when I open task manager it stays high for a split second and then drops

 

 

What is telling you that you have high CPU usage, the CPU usage dropping after it has completed the task asked of it is normal behaviour btw.

 

Are you having any actual problems with the computers performance.

cpu was at 100% by google chrome

 

is there a fix for this as making my pc slow

[phillpower2]

Start by uninstalling and then reinstalling Chrome then do the following for us;

 

Download Process Explorer which you can obtain from here

Save it to your desktop then run it (Vista or Win7 - right click and Run as Administrator).  

 View, Select Column, check Verified Signer, OK

Options, Verify Image Signatures

 

Click twice on the CPU column header to arrange things by CPU usage, this will put the services with the highest CPU usage at the top of the log. 

 

Wait a minimum of a minute then grab a screenshot and attach it to your next reply for us

 

To capture and post a screenshot;

Click on the ALT key + PRT SCR key..its on the top row..right hand side..now click on start...all programs...accessories...paint....left click in the white area ...press CTRL + V...click on file...click on save...save it to your desktop...name it something related to the screen your capturing... BE SURE TO SAVE IT AS A .JPG ...otherwise it may be to big to upload... Click on the More Reply Options tab then after typing in any response you have... click on Choose File...desktop...find the screenshot..select it and click on Attach This File...on the lower left...after it says upload successful...click on add reply like you normally would.

Partition was deleted and W10 reinstalled only a few days ago so a fresh copy of Chrome was installed

Did you uninstall and re install Chrome as suggested.

 

Nothing hogging the CPU there and in fact the CPU usage is very low at 5.98%, the higher the System Idle Process reading is the better and you will not get much higher than the present 94.02 reading.

 

is there a fix for this as making my pc slow

 

 

Is the computer still running slow, if yes, is there a pattern to when it does run slow as in is it when connecting to the internet, when running a heavy duty program or is it slow all of the time.

I reinstalled chrome when I reinstalled W10

 

It seems to happen when I start having a few tabs/programs open

 

Memory is showing Mbam as being open but as you can see from the screenshot it isnt open

Those programs are loaded on boot and stored in memory, that is why they are not shown to be using any of the CPU resources, some programs can be stopped from running on boot but others cannot + some can be deleted altogether, Cortana cannot though be deleted.

 

Let us know if you would like help disabling anything that is unnecessary to start up.
