This is on a new ThinkPad 11e laptop (really a netbook class device). This is with a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro, only Chrome and drivers installed.
The CPU never reaches completely idle. This stupid "System and compressed memory" process is always running at 4-8% CPU. For a laptop, where battery life is sort of an important thing, this is highly annoying. On my desktop here, I see the process using about 0% CPU most of the time, occasionally jumping up to 0.2%. Clearly this 4-8% constant strain isn't normal.
I'm going to check some of my older laptops and see if it's an issue across the board.
Anyone have any ideas?
