Funny how you assume that my Windows system is not configured to my usage.

I've turned off Windows Defender. I've turned off background tasks that I don't want. I've uninstalled every piece of software I don't want. I've turned privacy up as high as I can.

And it's still a slog.

Well, now you get that these were not the adequate steps to fix your issue, you might want to try to configure / use differently the system updates, which in my opinion could be the root cause of your issue ? And why, more importantly, haven't you checked your event log to understand the issue rather than wasting time to complain on Hacker News ?

Seriously?

Anyway, the process that was taking so much CPU was Windows Explorer. I'm pretty sure that is a Microsoft problem, especially since the computer just was booted up.
