First off, you need to check in the Task Manager --> Processes tab to see which tasks are actually using the CPU resources. Simply because a LOT are running, does not many that many of them are using resources. I have 65 processes running and of them, only 5 sum up to 5% of the processor demand -- the other remaining 60 sum up to less than 1%.
Second, Windows Update runs on your PC, in the background every WEEK -- whether you know it or not. Patches come out every Tuesday from Microsoft and with 24 hours, your PC will be downloading and installing those -- and when it does, it will tie up the processor and the hard drive so that little else can be done.
Third, if you want to tweak your task usage, then read the details at this site -- as this is what I have used to get my task load down to being so low: Black Viper’s Windows 10 Service Configurations » Black Viper www.blackviper.com
