Windows 10 delivery optimisation cpu usage

[keyser van someone]

I think this was related to a fairly large Windows Update but before and after I installed this my cpu usage on 6 threads was ~30% to 60% with nothing running, except Process Explorer (and the 176 other windows processes/services). It took a full shutdown and another 30 mins of waiting for it to finally stop and go back to normal. I wouldn't mind if Windows was busy doing something, just tell me!

Recently playing games felt a bit laggy and I think this was why, except non of the cpu cores/threads were over 80% when gaming, so it was weird. I'm tempted to have a separate gaming and non-gaming PC at this rate.

I might run the debloater powershell script again. I installed xbox stuff again recently for Game Pass and made the mistake of opening the MS Store which then tried to download and install everything missing again, I cancelled all that though.

Edge opened because I made the mistake of clicking on some 'more info' link in settings, closed Edge and then the 5 Edge processes continued to remain running so I ended those manually.

While this was happening I was wondering if I'd have to do a fresh install of Windows, I shouldn't really have to as I don't install anything outside of the apps I trust, which isn't many.

The other complaint I have is Windows Update says update pending, so I think not right now, click pause updates, which apparently gives me a week. But then when I unpause it to start all over and downloads them all again. That's not paused then is it, thats called stop

But yeah this was the first time Windows was doing some mysterious stuff (update clean up I guess) stopping me from playing a game until it was done.
