Very slow computer with high end CPU and lots of RAM

Hello,


I have a very big issue with Windows 10. Sometimes I feel that it is even slower than my Android phone with a small Snapdragon CPU.

My CPU is 6-7 years old but is still more capable than a lot of junk CPUs on the market. Here is my configuration :


Core i7 2960XM

32GB of DDR3 RAM

128GB SSD with 300MB r/w speed

Screen resolution : 1680*1080 (4/3 screen)


I feel Windows 10 is very very sluggish with this computer, it is slower than netbooks and the framerarate of the UI is clearly below 20 fps. Maybe even 10. I can see all the UI drawing piece by piece.

The real problem is the CPU usage. The CPU usage in task manager is constantly at 20% and the power consuption in CPU-Z is 20w in ... IDLE !

I just can't understand. The fan of the laptop is constantly turning on and the laptop is very hot.


What is the damn problem with Windows 10 ? Is it a virus or something like this ? How to find which process is using the 20% because in the "details" section of task manager the CPU usage doesn't sum up !


I disabled all Windows Defender related features. No Windows Defender. I have 32GB of RAM so not a RAM problem.


I don't know if I have to remove Windows 10 (it is a 100% fresh install) and go back to 7 or even Linux, but I am using some specific software not available on Linux.


Thank you
