Hey everyone, I'm new here and just got a Beelink mini PC from Amazon and it's my first time using Windows 11. I don't have many programs installed yet, updated all drivers and did all Windows updates. The problem I'm having is something that I've never dealt with in the past, which is the CPU cores are constantly running when idle. I know that they should be running or the PC wouldn't work but I have very few things in the icon tray and the cores (mostly the first core) is using around 6 percent of the CPU. It's not high but it just stays like that for as long as I keep the computer on for.
The strangest thing is when I put the computer in sleep mode and it wakes, the cores are all extremely low, as they should be, usually between .09 and 2 percent. I read somewhere that it could be the hard drive failing, which is a 500GB NVMe m.2 that is the original drive. I haven't upgraded it, I only added a 1 TB SSD since there is an empty slot for a regular SSD in these mini PCs. I'd really appreciate any help, thanks!
