I have noticed for the past week and a half or so, when I go to start steam on my computer, it takes around 30 seconds to fire up steam. A week and a half ago, launching steam only took about 3 seconds. Today I checked out task manager while I started steam and my CPU speed jumped way up and stayed up for as long as steam was open.
I have an i7-6700 with a supposed max speed of 3.40 GHz. With steam running, I am getting readings around 3.9 GHz. This computer is not made for overclocking so I'm not sure why it is going over the max speed, and why steam seems to be putting such pressure on the CPU I have no idea. Maybe this is normal, I'm not sure, I'm not that knowledgeable, all I know for sure is Steam is taking a hell of a lot longer to start than it used to. Help me out please?
