  • since your CPU has 16 threads (“cores” but not really cores, you probably only have 8 of that), if a process uses up all the capacity of a single core, that will have a 100/16 = ~6% cpu usage. In my experience looking for this really works… at least on windows, please don’t hurt me. it should on linux too, but there I don’t have it at such a visible place.

    this may not work that much though when your system is under a higher load, and the process you’re looking for also has a higher CPU usage, like 30% or something.
    in this case you’ll want to look for the cpu usage of the individual threads of processes with a higher cpu usage. if you have a process which has a thread with 6% cpu usage (in case of a 16 hardware thread cpu), then that process is at fault. by looking at the name of the thread you may even find out what is its purpose.
