Windows update issue.

Hello.

When try to play magic the gathering through steam the cpu goes up to 100 % and the 80-85% is from the game and the fans goes crazy. I figured i have outdated driver or something, so i try to find driver updates through windows update, and optional updates.. but everything is up to date.

Then i thought okay, and checked the device manager through control panel to check for yellow or red notifications. But didnt find any, but anyhow i searched for updates in device manager even though it didnt have any indications of needing updates (the ones i tried until i gave up was up to date).

Then i though okay again, and tried to troubleshoot windows update, and there it is "issue detected", i tried to troubleshoot again to be sure that it was resolved as it proclaims but it comes again. Then a third time for good messure, but it still there. Then i tried the "sfc /scannow", but it says "... did not find any integritation violations". ..............

Without any programs running: 11 - 15% cpu, 35% memory, 1% disc, 43c temperature. With the one game launched at the lowest setting, (its a online card game): 85 - 100% cpu (most 100), 44% memory, 1% disc, 90c temperature until the fans hits hard, then its down to 66 - 80 - 85c temperature, after a while it stays at around 65 - 70c. But cpu is staying between 97-100%.

..................

I did a factory reset on the computer because of a problem this forum helped me with. I downloaded a healthsecurity zip, that fixed "IT-ADMINISTRATION limited access problem".

    Okei.. hmm. But the game has been between 60% - 100% cpu, and the driver foundation has been at 40% - 50% cpu. I thought that if the driver foundstion is that high it was a big faulty, but i might be wrong.

    Yes, that is a possible cause, also Windows may be installing drivers in the background, but your main usage is caused by the MTGA game, and that is normal.

    Okay, so the reason that the cpu and windows driver foundation is so high. because the updated drivers are simply not good enough?

    I do not see any problem indicated with your Windows updates, that update installed correctly, it is only the troubleshooter indicating a problem and that is probably a false positive.

    All of the screenshots/pictures are taken after the instructions you gave (the reinstall).

    According to windows update, im up to date.

    After the reinstall it detected a corrupt file through "sfc /scannow". I scanned it again and it was gone though. Dont know what its was.

    The same issue remains. The game is really high, and windows driver foundation is really high.

    I took a new troubleshooter after the reinstall, and its still there.
