[Survive69]

Use Task Manager and "perfmon /all" to identify all of the processes and services that are running.

Especially any that are being automatically started at boot time.

Could be some application trying to update or otherwise "phone home".

nothing is updating, the only thing using more than .5% of my cpu is adobe and firefox and my boot app are only razer synapse, steam and nvidia geforce experience

Uninstall both Adobe and Firefox.

Install one of them. Work and test for awhile. See if all is well.

Then install the second. Work and test again.

Hopefully all will be well or you will be at least able to identify the culprit.
