When is the last time you did regular maintenance on this PC such as diskclean defrag and Malware scans ? ?You opened Task Manager and saw 100% CPU usage, right? So, exactly what process(es) was using CPU resources? Task Manager shows the % for each process. @Patio
I Did a disk clean about a week ago.
This problem happen out of no where and I haven't defraged my PC since like a month ago but there was a setting where you set the time and DAY you wanted to defrag and its set on everyday at 4:00 pm
Malware I haven't scan for yet@soybean
It was a process called WmiPrvSE.exe and the description said WMI Provider host

I read online that this is important and of you try to delete this it will just reappear
But in didnt know that so I deleted it and my CPU usage started going down and it reappeared back where all the processes are.
And quick question for @soybean & @Patio. When the High CPU problem happened I had MALWAREBYTES and it said it was outdated so I NEEDED to update it and when I did A blue screen appeared and it said something about a device driver attempting to corrupt has been caught.
A faulty driver currently on te kernel stack must be replaced with a working

@s375
Ill see if this helps
Thanks (:Ok I read online how to fix the problem I think.
I went to start
Search run on start search
Put msconfig ( something like that)
And when to startup and click disabled all
Then I restarted my PC and the WmiPrvSE.exe processes dosent use alot of CPU Usage anymore but whenever i start my PC the CPU Usage starts at 100% then lowers back to below 50% CPU Usage
But even since its slow my PC still goes slow.
Also whenever I run Disk Cleanup it never used to use so my CPU usage and now it does.
