High CPU Usage Caused by TiWorker.exe

Good Day Mohannad,

My name is Carlo, I'm an Independent Advisor and community member like you.
I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.

The TiWorker.exe system process is related to Windows Update. This may happens if there are any updates happening in your computer, or the computer is checking/scanning for any updates available, that is why you are seeing high usage in the task manager. This is completely normal, rest assured that it is not a virus or malware.

You can check for updates and install any updates available.

I hope the information above helps.
Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

I have done so. There are no required updates. The PC is up-to-date. I don't think this process is a Windows Update process.
