Microsoft Common Language Runtime Native Compiler 100% CPU Usage

If the task is ended manually, it starts up automatically after about 10-20 minutes. You may wonder what causes this issue and how to fix this.

Cause

A miner (“IECrashHandler.exe”) infection can cause this issue. Your antimalware software may be unable to find and remove the rogue processes and the corresponding scheduled tasks.

If the problem persists, do the following:

Delete the following malware files if found on your computer:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\IECrashHandler.exe
