[SOLVED] Intel System Usage Report uses a lot of power & CPU

[AaronKyle]

I've got a brand new PC with an i3-9100 and I'm just wondering if this is normal. It has Very high power usage and uses up a big of my CPU. It happens once every 2 days and stays like that for 15-20 seconds. Other than that my PC works fine.

Hi AaronKyle.

The system usage report is just telemetry sent to Intel.

You can uninstall "Intel(R) Driver Update Utility" if you want this gone. It's a useless program anyway.
