Windows 10 Why does disabling HDD timeout allegedly solve high CPU usage on "NT Kernel & System"?
I never had the high Kernel & System CPU usage, but I saw this issue on a friend's computer. The process with PID 4 had a high CPU usage. But that issue solved itself. However, how is disabling HDD timeout (spin down after ** minutes) meant to solve the CPU usage issue? How is it related?- WinFreak
