How can you fix a high CPU usage (100%)?
After having my laptop fixed the computer guy upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to like windows 7.9 or something. Now whenever I go on the internet it is really slow and a pop-up tells me my CPU usuage is at 100%. I’ve checked what could be making the cpu so high and the prgrammes with the highest usage if explore.exe, schvost or settomething, and firefox. It’s getting really annoying, so if anyne could help me I would be very grateful. Thanks :)
What’s the usage when nothing is open? Because from what I just read windows 7.9 is supposed to be faster and have better graphics and stuff so that shouldn’t be happening O.o Maybe you should talk to whoever fixed your computer about what’s going on, they obviously did something wrong.
Well first off there is no “Windows 7.9”. 7.9 is the highest score you can get for your hardware on the “Windows 7 Experience BS-o-Meter” - which says theoretically you can run Windows 7 perfectly.
Second your issue of 100% CPU usage can be a pain to nail down. Lots of things can cause that to happen. The processes us listed that are using lots of CPU are supposed to be there. explore.exe is more or less your desktop and file browsing system. svchost runs a bunch of windows services in the background. And well firefox is your web browser. I would look at the svchost first, sometimes viruses get hidden in them. There are a lot of guides around for fixing svchost 100% CPU issues. Just Google svchost 100% CPU. But sadly 100% CPU usage can because by some many stupid things I can’t just say “Here is your problem.” Check your laptop’s temps. Laptop’s like to run hot and over heating can cause your CPU to run very efficiently and spike up to 100%. Software errors will sometimes cause other things to spike up to 100% CPU usage, making it hard to find the root cause.
