My SQL Server 2012 is using 4-20% of my i7, but I don't have any application using SQL Server. This is Enterprise installed on a Win 7 box I use for development. I thought maybe it was just updating statistics or something but hours later it is still using the CPU for something. Can someone please help me figure out what background processes might be running. I don't have SQL Agent installed. Just the engine, integration services, and the Management Studio.
Did you check sys.sysprocesses for any running processes.
