[Noxitb]

Hello So i am on the latest updates of windows 11 with all new drivers and bios updates installed i have gone through windows antivirus and 4 others and still no solutions my cpu is just sitting t 100% usage and i am very confused why my system has
msi z690 tomahawk wifi ddr4
intel i 5 12600k
a msi 3050 2x
Crucial P2 3D NVMe PCIe M.2
and 32gb or corsair rgb vengeance pro 32gb 3200 mhz ram
if someone was able to help i would really appreciate it

Likely some buggy or corrupted software.

What games and apps are installed? Source?

Look in Task Manager, Resource Monitor, and Process Explorer (Microsoft, free) to discover what app, utility, etc. may be consuming the CPU "resource".

Use all three tools but only one at a time. Take your time with each tool to learn how to navigate about and to understand the information being provided. The column headers can be clicked to sort data. More details are available via additional clicks. Details may or may not be helpful.

Process Explorer:

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

look at what process is using the cpu time. if it is the system process then set the system to run in high performance mode and let the system sit until the system process completes its functions. Guessing that the system process is running trim functions and data integrity checks on all of the drives in the system. windows will run the data checks after the system goes idle for 5 minutes and runs until the system goes to sleep. This process will try to read every sector of each drive and look for CRC errors before the sector fails. When it finds a bad sector, it will attempt to read it over and over until it gets a clean copy. Then when it gets a clean copy it will move the data to a new sector and mark the old sector as bad. The process can take a long time.
bugs in drive storage drivers can also cause this process to not complete.
bugs in drive firmware can cause the system process not to complete.
(if it is a firmware bug then you boot into bios and let the system sit for a few hours so the drives have power but are not in use, after 5 minutes the drive firmware should run its trim commands and do the drives internal cleanup.)

be sure to update the cpu chipset drivers as bugs in these drivers can also cause corruptions.

often people that report this problem never figure it out they just report that the problem went away after a few days.
