Vista High CPU Usage on HP laptop
Oct 13th, 2009 by Vinny
Had to post this issue I’ve had since I got my HP laptop. Every time I open the first application, explorer.exe goes crazy and sits at 50% CPU usage. Doesn’t matter if everything is shut down, it just eats cpu, which in turn causes the fan to run constantly and melt anything that sits under the laptop from the super hot heat.
The fix was to update the DigitalPersona software and the fingerprint reader drivers. Once I updated that (through their own update menu option) the cpu was back to normal and everything works much better!
I have an HP TX2500 touch tablet and its a great machine, now that it won’t burn my legs its even better!
