Solidworks using up all CPU on PC?

Hi,

One of our users Solidworks is using up most of the CPU, is there anything I can check?

See attached image..

OS - Windows 10

Looks like you have a very large assembly open since the memory is at 4,xxx mb. Solidworks might need to be closed and let the memory reset itself then try again.

    Does this happen to other machines opening the file or just at his computer?

      It only affects the machine in question, all others seem to handle the Solidworks files fine

        Okay. Did that computer do a windows update or updated the graphics driver?
