I have been using Corel Draw since X4 and have had a problem start up. I recently upgraded my Windows 10 install with the November 2015 update. I am now finding that when I load a file to work on in CorelDraw, my cpu load for Corel goes up to about a constant 42-45% and the overall machine load cycles between 75-96% which slows the overall machine down to a crawl. Is anyone else seeing this problem?Why would Corel use so much CPU just sitting there waiting for me. This is happening with a file loaded and I'm not doing anything to it. I'm looking at upgrading my laptop and want to avoid this problem on the new one. Thanks!
There may be background processes running.
Did you upgrade X7 to the latest version?
Hello MatTeacher; To ADD to what David said Delete your Temp files, Check to see whats starting up and running at Windows Startup if you have programs that you don't want started or just don't want get them Out of the Start up at boot. Windows 10 is new and has A lot of BUGS in it ( I Think ) I went back to Windows 7.

MathTeacher said:Yes. I checked updates and I am up to date. What background processes should I be looking for?
version X4 and olders only can do one task at the same time. For example, if you save and print, the program should wait to finish saving for print. Since X5, CorelDRAW allows multitask, that means if oyu have a multi-core processor (such as a Core2Duo, QuadCore, i5, i7, etc) the program could save with one processor while is saving using another processor. Then maybe the program is performing and auto-backup although you didn't notice it
