So i just hoped on roblox for 2 minutes and checked a game out and immediately left afterwards, I always have stuff like task manager and HWmonitor on to see what my cpu and so on is up to, after that i was going to shut my computer down when i saw this in task manager. I thought it was doing some kind of closing application calculations but no i waited for like 2 minutes and it refuses to fix after that i closed every extra application that was running in the background but that didnt change anything either does anybody know why this happens i am pretty sure this isnt healthy for my cpu

Its just a quick post wanted to ask why this happens

CPU is fine. One game or application is using a single thread. Try restarting it.

I don't see a problem. FWIW, I'm showing 204 Processes, 2749 Threads and 89966 handles.

Not sure why your CPU pegged out for a bit. I would guess some background process kicked in like malware scans, indexing, WU or backup.

Im sure restarting my computer would fix the issue i was just concerned since everything other than google chrome and task manager was closed so what could be using so much of a single thread.

A game, background task like updates, etc. Time for you to do some serious digging.

Yeah yeah but i closed up the background apps too though, the only one that was running was a wallpaper app and i froze the live wallpaper to see if it would change anything or not, after i saw that there was no change at all i thought i would make a post here since i couldnt see anything that seemed to really bother my cpu in task manager either

Software A lot.
Benchmark Scores Its fast. Enough.
Maybe watch what process is taking that CPU time and screen shot that, then right click and see where it's located, screen shot that, and then click details and see what/who it's from and screen shot that and post those.
