DarkMatter89 0 Posted yesterday at 07:14 AM Share Posted yesterday at 07:14 AM I'm having issues with something using 60% of my CPU as soon as i open task manger to try track it down the usage goes away. Once i close task manger it comes back in about 2 mins and repeats over and over so at moment Iam running my pc with task manger open full time and that keeps it at bay but i want to find this issue and remove it. I have run a scan on my pc with my ESET and it does not find the issue. I have removed all my drives and unplugged everything but screen, mouse and key board to try track the file down it still happened so it has to be on the mina windows drive. I know i can wipe it out of i wipe the drive and reinstall windows and drivers but i don't want to have to do that. Been trying to track this thing down for about 6 months Any help would be very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this happening when you leave the machine to idle for a few mins as it could be something as simple as windows doing its automatic defrag when it is idle and could account for the CPU usage, then dropping when you jump into task manager ?

Administrators Marcos 5,362 Posted yesterday at 08:19 AM Administrators Share Posted yesterday at 08:19 AM Also please make sure that you have Idle-state scanning disabled to rule it out as the cause: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,362 Posted 3 hours ago Administrators Share Posted 3 hours ago I've just realized the instructions that I provided above were incomplete. Please collect fresh logs as follows: When the issue occurs, enable advanced operating system logging under Tools -> Diagnostics -> Enable operating system advanced logging in the advanced setup After 30-60s stop logging Collect logs with ESET Log Collector and upload the generated archive to a safe location (e.g. OneDrive, Dropbox,...) and drop me a personal message with a download link.
