That's normal, the CPU thread being utilized heavily that is. Fortnite is known to heavily utilize 1-2 cores more than evenly distributing the workload over all cores. If you're system is lagging it's probably a hard drive load bottleneck, is the game on an SSD or HDD? If on HDD it's possible it's not loading the data fast enough and thus the slight stutter. It could also be a GPU issue, try updating your video card drivers if they are not up to date.

Check your computer's "POWER PLAN", simply type POWER PLAN in the windows search bar and select the "choose power plan option" (it can also be found in control panel > hardware and sound > power options). If you're on 'balanced mode', switch it to 'high performance'.

Did you have any luck, experiencing the exact same issue with the frame drop and lag, also CPU 2 running high!!
