Windows Users: Tackle High CPU Usage to Boost Performance and Prolong CPU Life
Windows PC users may face lag or slow processing due to high CPU usage. This issue can be caused by various factors and, if persistent, can even shorten the lifespan of the computer's CPU.
High CPU usage can stem from multiple sources. Running too many heavy applications simultaneously, outdated drivers, background clutter, or malware infections can all contribute to this problem. To tackle this, users can take several steps.
One solution involves disabling the 'High Precision Event Timer' in Device Manager. This function, though not attributed to a specific manufacturer, can be found under 'System Devices' as 'High Precision Event Timer'. Disabling it can free up CPU cycles and enhance performance. However, it's crucial to note that this action might affect the accuracy of some system timers.
Regular system maintenance is also key. Keeping the system clean, updated, and well-optimized can prevent the CPU from overworking. This includes updating drivers, turning off unnecessary background apps, and running regular malware checks.
High CPU usage can significantly impact Windows PC performance and even reduce the lifespan of the CPU. Users should identify and address the root causes, such as heavy apps, outdated drivers, or malware. Disabling the 'High Precision Event Timer' and maintaining a clean, updated system can help ensure smooth computer performance.
