Opening Task Manager Changes CPU Usage from 100% -> Normal (Windows 10).

This is probably one of the oddest bugs/issues I've come across on a Windows computer.


I have a high performance computer so I can hear the fans blazing when the CPU is working. For some odd reason while I'm working, the fans will randomly become very loud (indicating high CPU usage) - then, when I open the Task Manager to check what process is causing it I see 100% CPU Usage for a split second and then the usage goes back to normal before I can identify the process causing the usage.


Do I have a virus or something because it's almost as if my opening of the Task Manager tells the process to stop using up my CPU. Seems frankly kind of odd behavior.


Anyone know of what the process might be or what might be causing this odd behavior?
