Recently I noticed my laptop fan was working harder, and there was this process using about 35% of CPU: powercfg.exe Power Settings Command-line Tool



I'm using Windows 8.1 and have never run that utility before myself.



Recent changes before this problem occurred:




  1. Installed CCleaner, did a cleanup and uninstalled.


  2. Created a task in scheduler to run a simple batch file with this command:



    xcopy [FolderA] [FolderB] /D  



trigger was login.



What I've done to fix the problem:




  1. Updated Windows -> No result

  2. Disabled that scheduled task -> No result

  3. Diagnostic startup -> The problem was gone


How can I find what caused this problem?
