cpu usage

Hi, I was using ffmpeg to strip the audio from a video file and it took like 20 minutes and I was not remotely impressed, the audiophile was like 6 hours, I would have thought taking the mp3 from a webm file would be pretty fast, however upon examination of the resources of the cpu it seems it...

Hi everyone, I like to watch a DVD at the weekend which is another region so I have to power up my Windows 10 pc to play it as my standalone player wont read it. The computer usually plays without making the cpu fan go noisy however I find windows likes to start pratting about running other...

I have a Server 2016 (Standard) that I use to run Remote Desktop Services for 7 users. The box has two Xeon E5-2690 (2.9 Ghz) cpus, 256 Gb, and two 2 TB SSD drives. The box had been working flawlessly for ages. Within the last two weeks I've had to resort to restarting it every day...

I have an Intel i7, and at times I can hear my laptop doing a lot work. I open the task manager to see which app uses so much cpu, and I'd see the cpu usage would be 100%, and 5 seconds later it'd drop down to 20%. I'm pretty sure it's not a visual bug in the task manager because I can literally...

I have 2 (sometimes more) rundll32 processes shown in my taskmanager and one of them repeatedly opens and closes, while the loading icon is flickering next to my cursor. I've already tried restarting the system, Malwarebytes didn't find anything and I couldn't find anything helpful on the...

I was using the Steven Black Hosts File to block malware and Ads. But lately the DNS Client kept activating and using 30 - 50% of my CPU and blocking me from doing anything online. By googling the symptoms of my DNS Client getting stuck like that I found that it can be caused by too large of a...

Hi. I'm an amateur photographer and all my pictures are taken in RAW so they're quite large. I often have hundreds of pictures to browse through but it's a painfully slow process with Windows Photos. This is due to the fact that it changes them; It only seems to do it when I load RAW images...

So, here is the problem. I was looking at Antimalware Service Executable for a long time, then as soon as I start doing something big such as copying a lot of files at once, a lot of the CPU goes to the Antimalware Service Executable, and then what I am copying goes down to literally Kilobytes...
