As soon and I would move the mouse or type, the usage would return to a more normal level, somewhere below 10%. A good level that I normally see when nothing is going on for my computer is between 1% to 3%. There is really not any reason for your computer to use more than 3%, if it is idle, that is unless some application is hogging some resources behind the scenes. This is what the Photo App in Windows 10 is\/was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I got on Google and soon I found it was affecting many users. One of the commenters (sorry I do not remember the name, because I did not believe it was the correct answer when I read it) suggested to bring up the Photo App, and go into settings. See the screen shot below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carriersnc.com\/carrierblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PhotoAppCapture-1-1024x538.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-72\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carriersnc.com\/carrierblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PhotoAppCapture-1-1024x538.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carriersnc.com\/carrierblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PhotoAppCapture-1-300x158.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carriersnc.com\/carrierblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PhotoAppCapture-1-768x404.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carriersnc.com\/carrierblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/PhotoAppCapture-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove any folders under the words &#8220;Include more folders in your collection.&#8221; Also, turn off Microsoft OneDrive. When I made these changes later, after I had tried many other suggested solutions, my CPU Usage dropped immediately to 3% and then to 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I consider this problem solved for me.
