  Https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon Windows does a tonne of things in the background, yes.

• can't get PTAT to run on RPL-U i7-1365URE eval board

  Don't know what PTAT stands for, but whenever I have issues with windows software running properly I pull out Process Monitor to log what that program was doing at the time of the error message. Sometimes there is a clue such as not being able to find a particular file, or registry key, or something else crashing etc. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Used Procmon, Diskmon with a mix of CrystalDiskinfo in my testings to kinda figure out the browsers that did a lot of writing and reading to my old SSD in a ancient laptop I have. You can pretty much get estimates of the ones that use too much Disk resources. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Do i Have Crypto Miner?after installing gta 4 from ocean of games my cpu usage goes from 100 to 8 and dedicated and integrated gpu usage spikes too, is this normal? also i scanned my pc with Malwarebytes bitdefender and nothing shows up ( im new to these stuff )

  Well GTA 4 is horribly optimized and RDR2 is quite a new game so it'd make sense why a laptop GPU might be so utilised. If the GPU isn't constantly peaking and you really completely reinstalled windows, then I wouldn't worry, it's probably just the computer. Check start-up and scheduled tasks with ProcessMonitor and Autoruns. If you don't find anything suspicious and the issue persists/ is very annoying then I'd... Source: about 2 years ago
