Every time after booting up windows 10, Chrome would start running automatically ( in the background only, no window opened up). Task manager would show a CPU usage of about 70% for Google Chrome and the fans of laptop started running at full speed. I tried disabling Chrome in startup tab in the task manager and all other settings of Chrome recommended online, but nothing worked.

So I uninstalled Google Chrome, and since the next startup the same issue is occurring with firefox. I can't uninstall firefox because I need it for work.


I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling chrome, and I do not have any antivirus installed, just the default one that comes with windows.


Note : This all started after a windows update around 1 or 2 months ago, and ever since then the only work around is to open task manager and manually "end task" the Chrome or firefox service.

I updated Windows again 2 days ago but it did not fix the issue


This is the screenshot for firefox.
