This seemed to occur around a minute after booting up and did not stop even after hours. Below is the attached the screenshot of the Task Manager - After searching around a lot, I finally found the solution to this problem. According to **THIS** Reddit thread, this is caused because of a particular setting in the Settings App. What fixed the problem for me are the following steps - Pressed the Start button on my keyboard and then typed in Settings and then clicked on the icon. (See screenshot) - Once the Settings opened, I navigated to System->Notifications & Actions. I turned off "Show me tips about Windows". So, after turning off, the Settings in my case looked like below screenshot - Once you turn that setting off, I immediately saw that the RuntimeBroker.exe was no longer consuming CPU and the CPU dropped to 1% of utilization. Want to change the background of the Settings App to Black like me? Follow the tutorial at the below link - https://www.sysnative.com/forums/wi...ckground-of-settings-app-dark-background.html I hope this helps the future visitors. In case of any problems, feel free to post back ^_^ -Pranav
