I don't understand what you mean by % not adding up. ooking at your screen shot, I didn't see any obvious discrepancy

When you stop a long running task, the operating system has to do a lot of things to clean up.

How long does CPU usage stay high?
 
I'd run a quick Malwarebytes Antimlaware pass, to make sure you are not mining Monero or Bitcoin for someone too lazy to work.

If it comes back clean, try www.freefixer.com and look at every non-greenlisted entry quite carefully, being careful what you scedule for deletion...

Also, a detailed scan with roguekiller64 portable (2/3rds of the way down their webpage) is also a good idea....takes a while, let it run.

Are your temps all under control?
