Hi,
I've had my machine now for about 18 months running XP
Pro, for as long as i can remember when no applications
are running the CPU usage has always ticked over at 1%.
Recently i have noticed that it fluctuates between 2% and
5% and i've no idea why. I've tried every trick in the
book to find the reason (DeFrag/virus scan/spyware etc)
but all with no results, the system processes all seem
valid and i've run out of ideas, i realise 5% is not a
large percentage but relativly speaking its a 500%
increase. if something is running in the background i
sure cant find it!!!! If anyone has any suggestions they
would be much apreciated, many thanks, Andy.
 
possibility could be youre microsoft updates could
automaticily be running,check it and change to update
only when prompeted to
 
Thanks for your reply, i dont use automatic update prefer
to do it manually. Its a strange one!!!
