I am seeing the same issue too. I'm using AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (6-core processor).

I see that in task manager, my CPU is reported to utilize for 100% for several hours.

And checking MSI Afterburner, it was reported only at around 10%. My CPU temp is reported by MSI afterburner to be around 65 Celsius. The highest usage reported seems to be Citrix HDX engine at around 25% and Task manager 20%.  Why the discrepancy reported by Task Manager vs MSI Afterburner is the question. I noticed this happened like more than a month ago. My desktop also runs normally.

      MatJon75 thanks for this. You have reduced my cpu usage from 100% and temps of 79° to 3% and 32° simply by uninstalling this MSI garbage bloatware. 😁
