High CPU percentage on logical processors - Shuttle XH110V

Hi all,

Just bought a Shuttle xh110v and installed ESXi 6.5.0 standard on it. Nothing else. So no VMs yet.

Still, taking a glance at the performance tab, I was surprised that always two or three of the eight logical processors are up at 99,6+% utilization!

How is this poosible?

Thanx for any help or suggestions.

XH110V:

- Processor (S1151): Intel Core i7-7700T (4x 2.9 - 3.8 GHz)(HD630)(35W)

- Memory DDR3L SoDIMM: Crucial ValueRAM 16 GB (2x8GB) DDR3L (1600MHz)

- M.2 SSD (2280): 128GB Samsung SM961 (3100MB/s-700MB/s)

Hi all,

With esxtop I saw that the process 'helper' was the culprit apparently.

Rebooted the host.

PCPU UTIL & CORE UTIL now remain below 1%, for now.
