do microsoft shills really think like this?

It idles at 1% for me, you either have some retarded program/services running or you have malware

OP, I switched to linux and just use windows to play a few holdover win-only games.
The windows OS is a fucking joke. The only reason to use windows instead of linux is for the sake of a few programs that you can't run in linux.
Nathaniel Cooper
for me windows 10 idles at 0-1% CPU usage with chrome open with some tabs

Watch it long enough and you'll see huge spikes for no discernible reason.
My old computer had a loud as heck cpu fan, and it would just blare up out of the blue every so often with windows.
>go to bed >reading >suddenly >WHHIRRRRRRRRRR >stays like this for 30 seconds then goes quiet again
Hecking hated it. So glad I got both a quieter computer and linux instead of wangblows now. I still have no real clue why it would do it, my best guess is win10 sending off some telemetry or something.
Isaac Smith
always happens when you first open task manager. Funny thing is that resource manager isn't effected by this, leading me to believe this is just bias setup
Nicholas Thomas
Get a threadripper.
Dominic Richardson
Idles at 0% fluctuating to 1% every few seconds with Chrome open. Someone's using you to mine eth or something.
Carter Morgan
well task manager has been running for ten minutes without any spikes so I don't know
I know that shit like windows defender can start doing some scans by itself and then some defrag type shit or whatever the fuck data management shit runs once in a while, downloading updates, maybe decompressing them, I don't know
heck I'm watching netflix at the same time and my CPU usage hovers around 4%+-2%
I don't know if you were running some piece of shit device where moving the mouse around was enough to make the CPU get loaded
Charles Martinez
it was a 3570k + gtx660 with windows installed to an ssd
The only really trash thing about it was the cpu fan, which I'm pretty sure was the basic one supplied by intel with the chip. Don't really remember, but it sucked. Think my cpu throttled at 3.7 - 3.8 ghz.

what was it doing?
Jayden Thomas
Unused CPU time is wasted CPU time
Cameron Scott
wasted electricity is wasted money
James Baker
Don't buy a CPU if you can't afford to pay the electricity bill lol

I have found card reader and wifi drivers often cause windows to consume a lot of CPU power. Using ProcessExplorer you can find out what .dll is causing it which is how I found a lot of 2014 and earlier laptops suffering from it. Solution is installing Windows 7 driver and preventing Windows 10 from 'updating' it via group policies.
Fortunately for GNU/Linux it either has the driver and it works fine or it doesn't have the driver and it doesn't work at all so you don't run into this issue.

Your webcam saw you coming back on your pc and windows stop sending data to the NSA for maximum performances.

Occams razor says: virus scan or some other background process that would slow down your pc if you were doing something cpu intensive.

The one thing that use a lot of that in my windows 10 pc is bitdefender.
Logan King
Guys should I not get winblows 10?
Stay with Windows 7???
WHAT DO
I WANT GAYMEN
Camden Morris
Meanwhile here in reality Windows works absolutely great.
I feel sorry for you OP and other Linux users who spend 18 hours a day sat at their computer obsessing over windows to the extent you have to keep gimp open all day making doctored "windows screenshots" to project whatever warped and deluded dreams you had about big bad ebil windows recently.
It can be any of those, user. Or some other software you have installed.
Brayden Thomas
Since you don't care you might as well mine us some bitcoins when your CPU is idle.
Anthony Rodriguez
I've never seen a comment describe Sup Forums as accurately as that. Godly.
David Foster
> Windows API Probably will be deprecated in the next five years. MS will do something. Maybe they'll put every win32 app in a UWP container at the first run.
Samuel Clark
Probably not. They've already brought office to uwp, the catalyst imo
