Windows 7 CPU usage stuck at 100%
in IT Support ·
Same thing happened to me recently. Tried every trick in the book, but nothing worked until I just wiped everything and reinstalled Windows.
I didn't even install anything new; I was mostly just browsing the web, but the second I booted up, my CPU usage would spike from 60% straight to 100%. Updates were all turned off too.
If you don't have much important stuff saved on there, honestly, just nuking it and reinstalling Windows is the easiest way out.
