hi,
my computer bugs me for some time now and i just cant figure out why..
while I'm playing games at my computer (like r6, fortnite) my CPU usage is rising up to 80-100% because of the system idle process.
now, i know its normal, but its happening only while I'm playing games!!

example (fortnite)

after (with the game open) : https://imgur.com/a/WLugZ

but this happens only with some games not with everygames
 
Solution
yes its normal that your CPU usage goes up 100% when playing games, but its not normal when your disk usage goes 100% as well. this will slow down your games. you will need to turn off indexing on your drive. just follow the instructions below. restart.

so dont worry about your CPU going 100% during games, this just means the game is CPU intensive and utizes more cores/threads compared to other games. and you did mention just some games and not all.

and you can just google on how to optimize windows 10 for gaming.
