I don't know, OP. Maybe Windows has some telemetry feature that constantly sends data to Microsoft.

Works fine on my machine.

>dual booting

Windows just copies your Ubuntu partition and sends it to MS/NSA servers for anal-ysis.

I'm sure you haven't encrypted your ubuntu partition because you sound like a newfag.

That's because Windows is a proper desktop OS that uses idle time to cache frequently used programs in unused RAM.

The more you know, OP.

Classic. But no, the default bootloader is replaced with grub, the partition windows isn't mounted when I'm on ubuntu.

Shouldn't be happening, you sure you didn't crack your Windows 7 with malware?

Mine rests with Firefox and few other background programs open at 0%-4%

If it's stays above 0% for too long, I already find that a bit dodgy and usually check for culprit.

You're not even actively seeding and your CPU is that high?

Ubuntu with fucking everything installed (Gimp, Kdenlive, shitton of games, ton of browsers, ton of media players, ton of video- and audio editing software), total install size: 11GB.

Windows install with fucking nothing but necessary laptop drivers, not even an AV yet : 32GB

False.

Just remembered, might not be malware. Microsoft has basically fucked Windows Update for Windows 7, so if just installed your Windows then that's probably it. Should be resolved once it finally does update. Or you could manually get all cumulative update containing everything up until now.

Now you could look for a culprit or you could just type "sc stop wuauserv" into cmd and if that stops high processor usage then it is Windows Update that's fucking it up for you.

You're welcome.

Enjoy your malware, faggot. My win7 uses 1-2% when its idle.
