If you have Windows 10, just go with Windows Defender and the built-in firewall. Nowadays, they're more than adequate assuming you're not visiting the deep and rotted cesspools on the internet trying to pirate software or games.

Because the Windows firewall was causing my excess CPU usage. That's why. I had everything fixed with a third party Firewall till Avast installed itself in stealth. Then kaplow system corrupted. You're not supposed to install two antivirus together but seeing Windows Defender service was down the system doesn't see another AV installed because the security panel only reports if Windows Defender service is running but seeing Creator update turned it into a yo-yo there's nothing I could do.
All that said no high CPU usage after the reset. Well Windows Defender is still thrashing but it should settle down one search indexing finishes in a few days.
