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?

To thoroughly check for malware/miners, please run a scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) and share your logs.

Note: If you are using Edge, SmartScreen may initially block the download.

Click on the three dots next to the warning and select Keep => Show more => Keep anyway.

• If your computer's language is not English, rename FRST64.exe to FRST64English.exe
• Run the tool, leave the default settings, and press Scan.
• Zip the logs, FRST.txt and Addition.txt, then upload to a cloud storage service like OneDrive or Google Drive.
• Post the share link.

Go to the support page for your system on the Dell website, then from there, download and re-install the version of chipset drivers and graphics drivers they provide, and while there, if you do not have your drive encrypted with Bitlocker, check for any available BIOS update.

Answer 3

What could be possible issues with that? Because I can't find any reasonable options why is my battery draining a lot caused by that task and, the task is using a lot of my CPU power. Also, my CPU is overheating (not constantly) even with the cooler pad underneath the laptop.

Answer 4

I do not see any problem indicated on your system, it is strange that the Command Processor is listed as using the most of your battery, but in the Task Manager, that process is not linked to any process in Windows in the Command Line to find out what is using the Command Processor.

Hi,

So I did the advanced diagnostic test in bios menu. It didn't find anything. It says "Pre-boot diagnostics test passed. No issues were found."
