Guest Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Under Task Manager, Processes what's using up the CPU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) Microsoft Security Essentials is permanently causing 40% CPU usage. Because MS doesn't offer debug files for MSE I can't see which function from MSE causes the high CPU usage.So remove MSe and try other tools like Avira AntiVir or Avast.1 other thing I can see is that the Interrupts cause some CPU usage. The Hal.dll is the cause. This is DLL for the hardware abstraction layer. Which power plan do you use? Also update the BIOS if possible.

pankaj Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hi universalbloggers..Whenever you play games your game increaeses your cpu usage and as you said that it even after you close the game cpu remains high this may because of other Applications using your cpu...You can check them by Opening Task manager and then processes and check which application is using your Cpu more and you can close it by click on that process and click on End process button...Hi..This may also due to installation of unwanted Softwares in your PC...you can also reduce your CPU usage by uninstallling the unwanted Software from your PC....

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 ok, so try a different powerplan and if this doesn't solve it, uninstall MSE and try a different free AV software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) do the same what I told the other user. Run a xperf trace and give me the files.@universalbloggersMS released a newer version of MSE. Try it again, maybe the new version is better.

universalbloggers Posted July 8, 2011 Author Share Posted July 8, 2011 Hi,I have purchased new battery, i am using balanced power plan right now, also disabled Microsoft security essentials service and defender service also.still i am facing same issue.check new latency file:http://www.mediafire.com/?0jy3j29qvoyxbzq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 hi, the new trace shows me that the Windows Explorer causes a lot of CPU usage.I can see that the Explorer extracts Icons to get the thumpnails. I looked and saw that the gameux.dll is involved. This is the game explorer of Windows. I think the game explorer tries to look for updates and displays the icons. This causes the CPU usage. You can try to use ShellExView to disable 3rd party Shell extensions. Look if this improves the performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universalbloggers Posted July 9, 2011 Author Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hi Andre,Thanks for a quick response.I have changed settings in games explorer to "never automatically find updates" and "never find art and information about games". I used shellexview; but 95% were microsoft only. remaining consist of winrar, amd, sun, broadcom. should i disable any of these?Meanwhile i found out that presentationfontcache.exe is sometimes coming in process list and taking high CPU like 25, 50 and even 60%. What is this process? It is running as local service.UB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Disable all other addons 1 followed by the other and check if the usage is gone.the presentationfontcache.exe is used by WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) apps. Stop the service and delete the file C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache3.0.0.0.dat if you use .net 3.5 or C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\FontCache4.0.0.0.dat if you use .net 4.0.
