Window 10 lagging over 25% CPU utilization












1














Windows 10 machine becomes very laggy at moderate CPU utilization.
Mouse moves laggy and slow, audio becomes intermittent etc...



When I check for Task Manager and Resorce Manager nothing seems wrong. Disks are idle (3%-4%), RAM is available (33%). Only CPU is at 25%-30% due to some programs like chrome or a backup software.



I think it is a low CPU usage to make the computer laggy.



I have been searching the internet for weeks. Tried everything but did not help.



Computer was running very smooth after upgrading to windows 10. After one year this issue occurred.




  • Intel i7-2600K

  • 16GB RAM

  • 128GB SSD + 1TB HD

  • GeForce GT 440 graphics
