This article will provide some effective solutions to fix high CPU usage in Modern Warfare Warzone.

Task Manager Modern Warfare Process Priority
Ensure Modern Warfare is running in the background, and open up your task manager by right-clicking your taskbar and selecting it.
In the Processes tab, right-click Call of Duty Modern Warfare and select Details
Task Manager > Details > ModernWarfare.exe > Set Priority > High
In the Details section, the ModernWarfare.exe process should be highlighted. Right-click the highlighted process and prioritize it to High unless you use a dual-core CPU. If your CPU usage is still 100% after applying this change in your Task Manager, change the process priority to Above Normal. This will allow you to see which options work best for you.
If you have CPU-intensive programs running in the background while playing the game, this change could greatly help you, as your system will now prioritize Modern Warfare compared to those programs. In the Processes tab, you should end some of these CPU-intensive programs from running while playing the game which you don’t need, but make sure to only end programs which you know won’t break your operating system, such as your browser running in the background, Steam, Discord, etc.
In the Startup tab, you should also prevent some programs from starting on system boot, which will lower your overall CPU usage the next time you boot up your system.
