Centralna procesorska jedinica^{(Central Processing Unit)} ili CPU je primarna komponenta računalnog sustava. Djeluje kao mozak^(brain) svakog računala jer je odgovoran za pokretanje operacijskog sustava instaliranog na njemu. Uzima unos od korisnika i OS-a, obrađuje ga, a zatim proizvodi izlaz koji se prikazuje na monitoru/zaslonu. Mnoga moderna računala danas imaju višeprocesore ili više jezgre^{(multi-processors or multi-cores)} instalirane u CPU . Iako je CPU najsnažnija komponenta vašeg računala i sposoban je obavljati nekoliko zadataka istovremeno, vaše računalo ponekad može imati visok ili blizu 100% CPUkorištenje. Kada se to dogodi, vaš će se sustav usporiti, programi i značajke će visjeti ili se zamrznuti, a aplikacije će prestati reagirati. Nastavite čitati kako biste saznali kako provjeriti korištenje CPU -a u ^(CPU)sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} i kako riješiti problem visoke potrošnje CPU -a.^(CPU)

How to Fix High CPU Usage on Windows 10

Τhe Central Processing Unit or CPU is the primary component of a computer system. Іt acts аs the brain of any computer as it is responsible for running the operating system installed on it. It takes input from the user and the OS, processes it, and then produces the output that is displayed on the monitor/screen. Many modern computers today have multi-processors or multi-cores installed in the CPU. Even though the CPU is the most powerful component of your PC and is capable of handling several tasks simultaneously, your PC may sometimes experience high or near 100% CPU usage. When this happens, your system will slow down, the programs and features will hang or freeze, and applications will become unresponsive. Continue reading to learn how to check CPU usage on Windows 10 and how to fix high CPU usage issue.
