[SOLVED] Task manager not accurate

[No no]

So my task manager says my CPU is always at 100% utilization which means that my CPU clock goes up higher, so my temperature is higher than normal, currently at 40-50°C, but my normal is around 30°C without overclocking, I tried to see if I actually go 100% utilization using prime95, but after stopping the test it was still 100% and the max temps were around 70°C which is normal (as far as ik). After ending the task with the most CPU usage, it just finds another program.

My specs:
mobo - MSI b450M-A PRO MAX
CPU - Ryzen 5 1600X
RAM - 2x8gb @ 3000 MHz

Don't use task manager for benchmarking your parts or usage. Use another program such as rivatuner etc. Everytime I look on task manager it shows my SSD is constantly at 0% and my CPU is always at 1% no matter what I try.

First thing I would suggest would be to close some things. Go to "Background Apps" and turn some sliders to off. Maybe click a few things not to come on at startup. Perhaps close those 13 tabs you have open in Edge.

Then check again.

Before turning off my PC I closed everything and it was still at 100%. And on Edge there weren't 13 tabs, they were like 3-5, idk why it says 13, mby some background processes

right click start
choose run
type winver
and press enter
what version of win 10 are you on? Current is 1909

A previous version of Task manager had a bug where it wasn't showing right percentages. Updating it could help.

Is it the same in safe mode?
go to settings/update & security/recovery
under advanced startup, click next
choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
click the restart button
choose a safe mode (it doesn't matter which) by using number associated with it.
Pc will restart and load safe mode
