So I just updated to Windows 10 and now my computer constantly will hang around 30% cpu usage when I am idling, the culprit is Runtime Broker. Does anyone know how to fix it? I end the task, but it just comes back like 10 minutes later and uses up a good 20+% of my cpu.

Open registry edit (just type regedit in the search bar since you have Windows 10) and go to this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TimeBroker] "Start"=dword:00000003
in the part where it says "dword:0000003" change it to a 4. So in the end it should say HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TimeBroker] "Start"=dword:00000004
After that restart your machine and post back whether it worked.
Doing this will disable the process from starting, which will have no adverse affect on your system.

regedit isn't coming up when I search for it.

I tried a different method, I just disabled it in my services. Hope this works. Thanks for your help, if this doesn't work I will try your method.

I had to revert back to the insider preview builds, I will try again to install Windows 10 later, hopefully I don't still have an issue with runtime broker.
EDIT: And now It won't let me update my system, it just says Windows is up to date. UGH....
