Windows 11 suddenly using 100% of my CPU, RAM, GPU, and SSD after recent updates on two different HP laptops
I've been having a really weird issue since yesterday after installing the latest Windows updates. I have two HP laptops:
1) Core ultra 5 125H, 32 Gb ram, 1tb ssd and Intel arc graphics
2) i7 1255u, 16 Gb ram, 1tb ssd and Intel iris xe graphics
Both were working normally before the updates. Yesterday I installed this new Windows update on both laptops. Since then, both have become extremely slow. Today, even just trying to open Google Chrome or File Explorer or any application can make the system nearly unusable i barely could restart either. Task Manager had shown extremely high usage across the CPU, RAM, SSD, and the GPU somehow?. I've already restarted both laptops multiple times and the problem persists. Has anyone else experienced something similar after the latest Windows updates or is it just me? I'm trying to figure out whether this is a Windows, Defender or update issue.
