Well AVG and Norton are gone, done another scan of drivers/Windows Updates etc. and it's still at 100%. It's like the minimum processor usage is set to 100%, even though it isn't, it's just finding every programme possible to make it up to 100%. Baffled, I give up.

Or it now works. I turned on, only had iTunes open which it had shoved to 70% of the 100%. I opened MSI X Boost, turned them all on, then off, then switched between, now it's working properly. Earlier I had all of these set to off and it was still 100%. Maybe I just need to get rid of this programme.

Or put it in sawdust

I think you’re supposed to put sawdust in it. In all the fans, ports, vents etc

Honestly sod that power saving and go for balanced if you're not using it and do it from there. Overly restrictive modes tend to be a bit iffy anyway.

Don't be such a minmaxer for this, it barely has any effect on savings.

Haha you didn't tell me at all, I explained at the start I tried every single power plan (I have 7) and none of them changed anything. It's stable now, will revert back to 100% in the morning when I turn it on again.

The ones in the MSI thing? Still 7 too many.

Bought the SO an ASUS TUF megalaptop - its own "performance/power hybrid" power setting blue screens it lol
