For about the last week or so i've noticed my cpu usage has jumped up quiet abit... It would usually sit on 0-1% during idle but now it seems to constantly sit on around 10-11%

I've tried killing off a heap of processes running in the background to the point where there is basically nothing running, and yet it still doesn't change anything...

Any ideas?

The G19 Keyboard hogged the most, along with Windows side bar.

I've had them running for months with no trouble... Even when i killed the processors it didn't change the cpu usage.
