It is a normal occurance, you cannot help it either, it's just how the program is programmed.

That's because whatever you're running at that time is made for single threaded use, meaning it wont take advantage of multiple cores. If you're running multiple applications/programs you can set which cores they work on to even the workload across your CPU.
To do this in Windows 10:
1. Open Task Manager by right clicking Windows Taskbar.
2. Select 'Details' tab.
3. Right click the program and select 'Set Affinity'
4. Select the Cores/logical cores you want to run the program on.
