Hi,
So my debit card number was somehow stolen about a week ago (without the actual card being stolen), and my bank account was completely wiped out with fradulent charges. This is the first time this has ever happened to me, and considering how careful I am in the real world with my banking card, I am wondering if my PC may be infected with some kind of malware or spyware that allowed a hacker/cracker to retrieve this information. I have noticed that occasionally (though not always), my PC will take longer than it seems like it should to load Windows after I turn it on (considering its very new). I have both AVG and Malwarebytes installed, and both scans come up clean. However I know there are some types of infections that these programs probably can't detect, and I would rather know with 100% certainty than my PC is clean, before I go back to using it for online banking and internet shopping. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Posted by
SP3 i5/8/256
3 years ago
I'm seeing 25+% CPU constantly on my SP3, which doesn't happen on my desktop which I also upgraded to Win 10 Pro. Fans aren't turning off and the SP3 is getting toasty. I do NOT have Cortana always-listening mode on.
The culprit appears to be System (ntoskrnl) and Cortana Background Task Host.

Any ideas? This is getting frustrating and really the only reason I'm considering downgrading to Win8.1 on my SP3.
EDIT: I found that my problem was caused by the default microphone being set to 'Headset' instead of 'Microphone Array.' After changing this my cpu usage went back to normal. See: https://imgur.com/YF2IbOd
