I had that KB, and I uninstalled it. But unfortunately it not do the trick for me, still same problem. What version of Windows 10 and OS build do you have? Mine is version 2004, OS build 19041.508

Tbf it's nice to know the game is utilising the full power of my CPU. We'd be moaning if it didn't so CDPR can't win, the game just needs optimising some more
So, having full power of the CPU is good? If so then I'm glad. I can close tabs about how to fix this stuff.
I'm running at about 80% and my CPU is about 65-70deg with minimal background tasks whilst playing this which doesn't seem too bad since my chip can handle 100 degrees before it throttles down. Running on i7 8700k but not overclocked, running at stock 3.7ghz

Well it looks like the game is multi threaded so thats good, they can squeeze more performance out with that and throw more tasks to the processor
Mine is at 100%, but haven't had anything damaging. Hell, fps drops are rare to the point where I was actively looking for it; i.e. playing around with graphical settings, crowd density, etc.
Thanks to everyone that has helped me.

What about your processor? If it's AMD, it doesn't effect much (maybe not at all). If it's Intel, that's where my knowledge ends. Sorry. A few posts back someone said that the deletion of KB4592438 only effected Intel processors, but I have limited knowledge when it comes to Intel processors. Sorry.
Hopefully this helps you in a way.

I have i7 10700K, can you post info about your win 10 version and os build?

It's best to report performance issues here:
(please click on "Contact Us" to send a ticket to CDPR support)Performance issues — Cyberpunk 2077 | Technical Support — CD PROJEKT RED
Welcome to CD PROJEKT RED Technical Support! Here you will find help regarding our games and services, as well as answers to frequently asked questions.support.cdprojektred.com
I finally had some free time and followed fully the procedure with uninstalling the nvidia drivers, installing new one, checking steam cache, getting dxdiag and so on. All this was captured on a video while I did this, and I filed the form with a support ticket. I hope this will help to resolve the issue for people like me with Intel processors.

Guess I'm old, but I remember when 100% CPU usage was normal. The reason you don't see it these days is because most games aren't programmed to use all those cores/threads. Guess I'm saying is 100% CPU usage is not necessarily a bad thing, especially if your CPU was the bottleneck... but a sudden increase in usage with no increase in performance would be cause for concern.
that's actually a tell tale sign of poor optimization lol.

that's unfortunate. I still do hit 100% in CPU bound areas... I guess we will just have to wait till January and February then
I have a 3080 and an i5-10600K and this cpu sometimes heats up to 88°, max I've seen so far. If it is poor optimization, I'll be glad to see those numbers reach less volcanic temperatures. but then again, I like to put ALL settings to the max, so maybe its no wonder cpu usage goes through the roof
3900x 4.4 1.29v here and getting very poor core utilization overall, runing an slightly overclocked 2080 Super FTW3 from EVGA.
Overall game performance is trully abysmal on PC.

Im on a 3900x and had all core OC before patch 1.06 but after the patch alt+tabbing would crash me so I went back to no OC and its fine a
I'm on a 3900x with a 2060 getting 50 to 60 fps on 1440p high settings, DLSS quality and have had no issues with the game and my PC. Stay around 50% CPU usage the whole time. I wonder how old your OS is and how many bits of uninstalled drivers etc. are in your Reg. Do a clean install of Windows and see if you have issues then. You should just get in the habit of doing fresh installs with upgrades to hardware and when things start getting wonky anyways.
I always do a fresh install of Windows 10 when a new version comes out. Same for Nvidia drivers always use DDU. This problem is more prevalent on intel CPUs considering that CDPR said "WE OPTIMIZED THIS GAME IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AMD" lol. Yet some AMD Ryzen users are reporting the exact same issues as mine. Go read back up on previous pages you'll see what I mean.
Mine Windows 10 was installed mid November 2020 and I only had two versions of nvidia drivers installed on it. I have few things installed - some games from Steam and Epic and PowerDVD and that's it, nothing fancy. In my opinion Windows 10 build version might be important or number of security fixes installed (some I could not uninstall because I have pretty fresh copy of Windows 10 with lots of Updates preinstalled/precompiled). That's why I asked if people who report "works for me" could post Windows 10 version and OS build.
I found a weird video. Guy has a 6700k 4c/8t cpu like my 3770k and is getting low cpu usage. Although he only has a GTX 970 still, even capping the framerates to 30fps on my end has the same high cpu usage.
I'll try downloading the GOG version tomorrow and see if it improves from the Steam version.
Hi guys,
I have a problem with this game, the problem is I'm playing on ultra settings, but framerates are low between 25-40 fps (resolution 2560x1080)... my question is my pc can't handle this game or game works like ps4-Xbox one version? What are the best settings for my spec?
My Spec:
Intel i7 7700
RTX 3060ti
16GB ddr4 2144mhz
500GB SSD

Since latest update (CP2077 1.23, Windows 10, NVidia driver as well...), I get about 95% both CPU and GPU (9700K + 3080) with no improvement in performance.
Wouldn't be a problem, but now I get about 80C temps on both, which are about 10-15C more than used to be before.
