I find this highly unlikely.. Could you please post some screen shots showing this??

example -- here I just tested and don't see the cpu do anything at all..

could you do the same thing please so we can see this.. The performance meter is better since it shows over time and would see the spikes even after you done and taking the screen shot.

Has the computer been running slower for you as well? Or as the computer been running great other than the high CPU issue with text entry?

I was going to say if the computer has been also running a lot slower than normal, then it's possible your Hard drive controller in the device manager switched itself from DMA to Pio mode. That can can high CPU usage by doing simple tasks. Once again that kind of behavior is common with bad sectors. Might be something, might be nothing, just thought I would throw that out there.

    • Why do people have difficulty installing Windows and not sabotaging the system?

      Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • This intro still gives me goosebumps after 30 years

      This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.

      Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
