    Microsoft admits Win11 file explorer performance bug, fix patch is being tested. This bug is causing CPU usage to be 100% and is related to Windows Explorer. You can reset the Windows Explorer via your task manager but the CPU usage may return.

    Have you checked with the MSI support?
    Try run scan with Microsoft Defender Offline:

    Open start and search for memory and then run Windows Memory Diagnostic and see what the result is?

      I just did both, Microsoft Defender Offline did nothing as i can see in history and Windows Memory Diagnostic didn't find error, as said in windows logs.

      I still did not contact MSI tho, is that the only solution left ? So it's not bcs of my cpu itself ?

        It is good idea to check with MSI.
