Hello my Windows laptop shows performance issues and lagging. In Windows Task Manager, I see a process name ffmpeg taking more than 85 percentage of CPU power. What is this process? Can I end it using the Task Manager or will it trouble the laptop?

Were you converting video files on your laptop? Or downloading or video streaming?

That is the reason, Burak Yaman. That downloading App is converting the video format and it require high CPU usage. Nothing unusual about it.
