So after running the Dolphin emulator for a while (which may or may not have anything to do with it but it seemed like an odd coincidence), i closed it and one of my cores is at 40-50% load constantly now after multiple restarts. I've checked my processes and I can't seem to find any reason for this.
I googled around, saw something about updating my graphics drivers (bit of a long shot) but I tried it and still absolutely nothing.
I really don't get what the issue could be. It doesn't stick to one core though, after each restart it moves to a different one and stays around 40-50% load. I don't get what could cause this. Some kind of random ghost process? I ran a virus scan and have looked over most things I could think of but I am totally stumped.

I'm seeing that within Resource Monitor but unless I'm being very stupid, I see nothing totally wrong there.
Really could use some help here, I am totally baffled and a little worried really.
Any other info that you might need, don't hesitate to ask!
