Hello, just today I discovered something very weird in my Task manager, there is a process called "Windows8" that is taking about 77% of my CPU O_O. Whenever I try to end this process it comes back after seconds lol. Is this a virus? What could this be? I'm not really feeling any slow on my PC but this could be becouse my CPU is 8 core I don't really know.. but this is annoying. How can I fix it? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance! Here is a picture of the issue at hand:

Solution
Can you right-click on that process in Task Manager and select "Open File Location"?
Where does it take you?

That could be some infection.
Try scanning with Malware Bytes Anti-Malware.


Ok so right before I saw your post a friend of mine suggested exactly the same thing that u did. Here are the results https://imgur.com/a/Hy7xo After scanning with both programs the issue seems to be fixed! Thanks alot! :)
