My cpu is at 100%

XaOnYT · ‎01-05-2020

my cpu usage is at 100% when gaming and when I am letting my pc idle it will set at around 16 and will spike up to 80 I looked in my task manager and noticed anything that said windows audio had atleast 10% usage assigned to it I don't know if that helps. The games I play are fortnite and ghost recon breakpoint if that matters.
