Task Manager showing 100% CPU usage

Task Manager showing 100% CPU usage. A few days after I built my PC, all of a sudden task manager started showing 100% CPU usage no matter what programs are running and it was also showing very high power usage. I ended up temporarily fixing the issue after I did a full fresh install of Windows, 2 months later and now the 100% CPU issue has returned. I checked sensor connections and updated my bios with no luck. I have NO performance issues, I used the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and it showed no high CPU usage. CPU and motherboard specs are below:

Windows 10 Home 64-bit

Motherboard: Z690 UD DDR4

BIOS: F7a

Processor: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-12900K (24 CPUs), ~3.2GHz

Has anyone else run into this issue? Does anyone know of possible solutions?

Good Day Justin,

My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

First, can you please check what are the services and processes running in your computer in the task manager.

-Click Start, type Task Manager and open it
-Click Processes Tab
Take a screenshot and post it here.


Also check the version of Windows installed in your device.

-Press Windows key + R
-Type winver and hit Enter
it will show you the Windows and build version and post it here.

I'll look forward for your response so that I can provide an accurate recommendation.


Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.


Sincerely,
Carlo T.
