I spent an afternoon organising my garage full of stuff accumulated from when I was younger, and found my old binder of cards. 10 year old me apparently had the foresight to keep them in pretty good condition...

Following a BIOS update to v. 1.7.0 (release date 13/01/2022) and an update to Intel Management Engine Components Installer (release date 12/01/2022) via Dell's Support page, I now have a 'System' process pinning a single cpu core to almost 100% usage when the laptop is idle.

If I interact with the laptop in anyway, e.g. moving the mouse, the 'System' process drops to normal background utilisation (<1%) but if I then leave the laptop to idle again for around 5 minutes, the same behaviour recurs. It's not always the same cpu core pinned to maximum use (it jumps around periodically) but multiple restarts have not fixed this and I can't determine what exact Windows process is causing it.

After updating the BIOS to version 1.7.0 (release date 13/01/2022) and the Intel Management Engine Components Installer (release date 12/01/2022) via Dell's Support website, I now have a 'System' process pinning one cpu core to almost 100% when the laptop is idle.

If I move the mouse or interact with the laptop in any way, the 'System' process drops to background again (<1% cpu usage), but if I then allow it to idle for about 5 minutes, the same behaviour occurs. It's not always the same cpu core pinned to 100% usage, but multiple restarts haven't fixed the issue.

Has anyone else seen similar behaviour since the BIOS update?
