Why is Windows Command Processor using over 50% of my battery? [Win11]

Question

As you can see on the screenshot - this is my options panel on my laptop (Dell G15). And I'm suprised of how fast my battery goes from full to under 20% while doing some basic stuff like studying and writing in Docs or Word.

On this scr the percentage for Windows Command Processor is 52% while yesterday it was above 60%. I don't even know what that is nor how do I stop it. I also feel like my CPU is overheating while gaming due to that. I don't go under 93C while playing Europa Universalis 4 (which is CPU demanding game) or Chivalry 2 (which is not really CPU demanding game, rather GPU demanding).

How do I stop that?

System specs:

• RTX3060 6gb
• i7-10800H
• 2x8gb RAM
• 500gb nvme SSD

Answer 1

Start your laptop, then on the Dell logo screen, repeatedly press the F12 key, then from the resulting menu, open Diagnostics and run that full diagnostics test, does that find any problem with the battery or power adapter?

Answer 2

Well it pops up only when I filter by CPU usage. It's constantly moving up and down the list, but I never see it when I filter by RAM or Disk.

Answer 3

Thank you for the screenshot, that does not indicate any problem, in Task Manager, is that Command Processor task indicated as using high CPU, RAM or Disk?

Answer 4

Hello Dave,

So this is what the task manager says about that task.

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Answer 5

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Open Task Manager, then select the Processes tab.

Right click the CPU column header and turn on the Command Line column

Expand the Command Line column so you can see all text in that column.

Then in the long list of processes on the Processes tab, can you find the Command Processor listed?

If you can, please provide a screenshot of the Command Processor in the list and the associated text in the Command Line column.
