Streambook 13
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)

I have freshlyy factory reset my HP StreamBook and somehow the CPU is almost aways at 100%...

I have disabled all startup programs that are not necessary as well as uninstalled most programs / bloatware that I dont use. 

The only things I do are play an emulator and PSNOW but it isnt only when running the two games systems that this happens, even when i have exited both of them and all other programs i am running between 70-100% CPU AT ALL TIMES. 

 

Its even slower than beore i factory reset it, 

 

 

I need tips that are FREE , Please dont suggest options/fixes i will have to pa for. 

 

Thank you so much ! 🙂

Hello @drm5145 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

No worries. The suggestions offered here by HP staff or Experts are always free unless it is really needed to pay for something (e.g. hardware replacements, broken parts, etc). But the suggestions (service) is free. This is a community full of end users, experts, some HP staff, etc.

 

With regards to your problem, make sure you :

  • uninstall 3rd party security software like McAfee ->here is more info <- or another
