Cpu at 100% even after reset.

I have had this issue where my CPU is at 100% when I look in task manager. It is at a constant 100% and when I look at what may be causing it, it changes constantly depending on what I have open and even if I have nothing open, it will still persist. I thought i could get rid of it if i did a full reset including deleting all my files but that still has not worked. What can I do to fix this.

My pc has:

Intel® Core™ i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER

16 GB memory

MPG Z390 GAMING PRO CARBON (MS-7B17)

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Devices and drivers

    I have successfully completed what I was trying to do by myself. For those who may be facing a similar problem, what I did was went into the BIOS and then formatted my SSD ( where windows was installed) from there. I then downloaded windows from a USB and started anew. This fixed my issue. I hope that this helps anyone who is facing the same issue that I faced.

    This has not seemed to have worked either.

    If there is any additional information I could provide to help us, I would be more than happy to give it.

    Try updating your device. To do that, select the Start button, and then go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update .

    Hi shrek_is_my_lord

    How are you? I hope you are doing good.

    Welcome to Microsoft Community. I am Juliet and It's my pleasure to help you today.

    I know how frustrating this may be for you but I'll do my very best to help you :)

    Have you tried to check system files with sfc /scannow command?

    1. In the search box on the taskbar, type Command Prompt, and right-click or press and hold Command Prompt (Desktop app) from the list of results. Select Run as administrator, and then select Yes.
    2. Type DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/"), and then press Enter. (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to complete.)
    3. After you see a message that says "The operation completed successfully," type sfc/scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/") and press Enter.
    4. After you see a message that says, "Verification 100% complete," type exit.

    I hope it helps! Let me know the results.

    Please Let me know if you have more questions or the above method didn't work for you, I'll be more than happy to assist you further :)
