Hello, I am not sure what I am looking for when you said to check my power supply. If you mean it might not work, well, it is definitely working. It charged my battery in roughly 2 hours which is what it has always done. As for Activity Monitor, the 2 processes that seems to peak the highest are VoiceOver and Kernel_task. They both peak around 5 to 10 percent, but not above it. I think it has something to do with disc activity. So I clicked on Disc Activity, but can't make any sense of it at the moment. Will keep looking.
