Explorer.exe 99%!

[Liminator]

So recently I noticed my comp was acting very slowly at random intervals.
When I push Ctrl+Alt+Del explorer.exe was at like 99%.

This happens randomly and I have no idea when or why.

Any suggestions?

Do you have windows explorer open when this happens?

windows explorer should always be on joxley...it is the taskbar...the icons...the basis of windows.

I get that too every once in awhile. It freezes up the other windows when I have that happening. If you close out of all open Windows, it will help. Otherwise, a simple restart of the PC will fix it.

Yes I know that, what I meant was, were you actually in any windows....i.e My Documents, what were you running when this happened.

I think it was when I right clicked to shut off something on the bottom right of the screen.
