When the CPU constantly sits at 100% the PC feels sluggish and the fan works hard. Often it is a process, update or malware — not that you need a new processor.

Find the process

Open Task Manager → Performance → CPU → sort processes by CPU.

If 'System' or 'Windows Update' dominates — wait or pause updates temporarily.
