[SOLVED] New Laptop doesn't use full CPU / GPU

I just got a new Laptop for my Video editing tasks.
I got the new Lenovo p43s with a Quadro P520 and i7 8665U.

When I render a video on Premiere or Davinci the CPU only works at 10-15% and the GPU is only at 5%. I activated CUDA but nothing works.
The render time is almost the same as on my old 8 Year Laptop I replaced. Any ideas on how I can fix that?

Thanks
 
Solution
Make sure high performance is on? Make sure it's plugged in and cool. It might be throttling.

My last guess is the drive. Laptops often come with slow drives. A large SSD might speed things up.
