While it can extend the life of older hardware, alternatives such as Linux distributions or ChromeOS Flex are also viable for those seeking a free, supported platform.

High CPU usage in Windows 11 usually means a process is using more CPU cycles than it should. It could be due to excessive background apps, pending Windows updates, corrupted system files, or high-resource processes like antivirus scans and indexers.
