Hi friend,
I was also sufferer of this problem from the past 7months. I searched
all the internet many times, but didn't get the solution. Everyone
suggest for the antivirus update, which is always latest in my system.
2days back I figured out a solution for this(which works for me).
What I tried:
1. I used firefox instead of IE(It partially worked.)
2. Some forum said it is because of system is probing for the new
devices. So I disabled my "bluetooth" devices..--It didn't helped me.
3. I did full system scan using latest symantic anti-virus --no use in
this case.
4. I was working offline, without internet. --It is partially worked,
that means 60% of the time I was allowed to work. but I can't work
much without internet. If I connect to internet system.exe is eating
the processor.
5. I figured out the trend which the system.exe is eating the
processor power. The trend in my system is every 5-6min system.exe is
activating and consuming the processor power. I was observing it by
constantly watching the processor usage with task manager, and
whenever it starts, I stop all my work and wait for 2min. It slowly
releases the processor usage, once the processor is become idle, I
used to resume my work. It worked. But you can work for only 65% of
the time, and you need lot of patience (which I already have, that's y
I worked like this for some time.)
Solution:
1. Kill the process "explorer.exe" from task manager. And work without
the explorer. we can create any task from the task manager. Like
taskmanager-->newTask-->explorer.exe.
Kill the explorer.exe whenever you don't need it. All my work involved
either in browser or any application. So, I work without the explorer.
