High CPU and Memory Usage at Idle

Hey guys, just installed a new Samsung 850 EVO SSD Dual Booting with Linux. Used what I believe is called a Retail Version of Windows 7 to avoid all the junk that was included with the Toshiba Disks. Seems recently Windows 7 is running at 50+% CPU and 30+% at Idle right after boot, is this normal for an SSD? And, I left it like this for like an hour just to see if it would calm down.

Right now running 82% CPU and 51% Memory with only Three Tabs open and nothing else...using Chrome. One my Yahoo Mail, Youtube music, This site and my Bookmarks Tab. I've looked around at what is running but nothing seems abnormal, any suggestions?

The dreaded Update issues...O-boy. Thanks so much for the heads up ThrashZone, I'll do this tonight.

I have Updates set to "Check for Updates but let me decide to Download and Install them" I also ran a "Check for Updates" and it stuck on that for an hour also, sorry forgot to mention that.

I also have set to "Only allow Important Updates"

It's a shame Windows 7 is becoming so hard to maintain because it is so awesome. I wonder what businesses do about all this, call the IT guy every month to fix?

Thanks again, Nasty7

Okay this was installed:

Code:

PS C:\Users\Chris> get-hotfix -id KB3020369

ThrashZone, I ran this one for 35 minutes, ran out of time. Is this going to take a long time to Run as I expect it will?

Then I tried to Install the "Optional" Updates after fully researching them, that stuck for two hours, so I shut down for the night.

Why would this happen to me, is this something I did wrong with my setup/installation of Windows 7 Home Premium?

Thanks, Nasty7

No but you should not run Window update until KB3172605 is installed. That is why TrashZone said to set the
updates to Never check for updates and restart the machine first, then manually install KB3172605.

Thanks pbcopter, I did not run Windows Update.

Thanks for the clarification on Setting to "Never Check for Updates" I did not do that but will now! restart, and install KB3172605

Thanks! Nasty7

Thanks guys all good now. I fully botched the instructions Thrashzone gave me. I do have a few questions if anyone has time.

1. Is it okay to Omit "Optional" Updates?

2. Can I set Updates to "Never Check for Updates" and do it myself?

Thanks, Nasty7
