NT Kernel & System using a lot of CPU
For some reason there is a entry titled at system that is constantly using a lot of cpu. Enough to keep the fans spinning and killing my battery life. When I checked the details in task manager I noticed it was the nt kernel & system that seems to be using the cpu. When plugged in the nt kernel usage goes down, but when on battery the usage spikes. I don't know why this is occurring? Anyone know what this is and how to fix it? I have an xps 15 9560.

Google Chrome is using quite a bit of your memory. For all I know, it might be the page file swapping memory.
Use the Resource Monitor to filter services based on whatever is using the CPU cycles.
