Windows Chrome uses 40-50% of CPU in background.

Sync with Chrome, then ask it to import all of chrome data. Also if passwards are an issue then you can export them to csv and import to outlook.

can you elaborate on how to export passwords?
do you mean by creating a text file?
thanks.
edit - it imported all chrome data along with passwords.

Great. Yes it automatically does that. If it doesnt, chrome can export CSV file too. Glad it did by itself tho.

use Bitwarden to Sync all ur passwords across all ur browsers or devices, basic free version does the job perfectly.

Bitwarden and unique passwords for every site is just good practice. Been burnt before.

Is the problem still ongoing? Hope it's not some ransomware in the middle of encrypting your files

yes, buddy still persists.
thinking of uninstalling chrome.
I also think its some malware or some program that is using chrome to generate ad revenue (like ou. press adfly kinda thing)

Run a full malwarebytes scan. The Free version with 14 day trial is enough
