1] Disable or remove unwanted Extensions

But after 1809 update of Windows 10, you see that Chrome only uses 1 to 2% CPU, though the total CPU resource is as high as 90%. When you close Chrome, you can see the drop to 14 to 30%. Though it lot depends on the Processor type and hard-disk, it is still to be feared that 90 to 95% CPU resource are going to hog your system.

In case you don’t have many options, and you need to have websites pinned, we can figure out which tab is causing the disk usage issue in Chrome.

  • Make sure Chrome is your current, and active Windows.
  • Press Shift+Esc, and it will open a task manager of Chome.
  • This will open Chrome’s own Task Manager, which will give you a more accurate look.
  • You can see how much memory each tab and plugins are consuming. Kill the one that is causing the problem.

This will help you to figure out the problem on the go. You can always switch to another browser if this is getting more often.

4] Reset Chrome

If nothing helps, you may reset Chrome – or uninstall it and then reinstall it – and see if that helps. Resetting the browser will delete personal settings, bookmarks, etc. So you may want to back them up first.

Hope this helps!

Its Chrome. It is using almost %40 of the CPU. I would start by removing it and re-installing it and if that does not work use a different browser
