    explorer.exe consuming 50% CPU Usage Constantly


    Hello there,

    I have been facing issues with explorer.exe. It is consuming 50% of cpu usage according the windows task manager. I restarted my PC several times, but no luck.

    I used Process Explorer to explore the process explorer.exe and see what is taking high load but there isn't any process which is. Only explorer.exe is consuming CPU by itself.

    I have also deleted everything inside 'Temp' folder.

    What should I do now? How would I solve it?

    Advance Thanks.

    I suggest to disable the add-ons or try the IE without add-ons that is in All Programs > Accessories > System Tools
