Re: Windows 10 using resources

Which tasks are reporting the high usage? Do you have an AMD or Nvidia GPU?

I opened the file location and the location was C:\Users\Ahmad\AppData\Roaming\Opera Software\Ctfhost I think it's a malware or something am I right? should I delete it?

Wow, interesting. If I were you, I'd wipe my HDD and do a clean install. But maybe that's just my OCD talking.
