Hi all,

Whenever I load certain games my cpu usage in task manager shoots up to 100%. However the programs usage don't come anywhere close to 100%. The usage after about ten minutes or so will come back down to normal and then i can boot up the game perfectly. I have no clue what the issue is and the only thing i could think of was the anticheat the game was using.

Thanks

what game?
malware scan your system?
what the hdd/sdd usage during that 100% cpu time?
Its games with easyanticheat, so apex legends, squad, etc. and i recently purchased escape from tarkov and have the same issue.
I will try doing a malware scan.
The storage usage doesnt get high at all.
