CPU usage high for no apparent reason

OK, so, I've come to an issue on my Arch install I've had for a while now, didn't really notice when it started happening until I wanted to hop in a game of CSGO as fast as possible
The thing is, right after the PC boots my CPU load is 100% so everything takes a while to load but when I open up the System Monitor or run htop the sum of CPU usages is never higher than 10-15%, so I'm unclear of where does the rest of the usage comes from, 'cause it doesn't seem like a bug because of the mentioned load times
Anyone got any ideas or should I just wait a couple of minutes on every boot until it magically fixes itself?

How do you know it 100% if htop says otherwise?

Run

htop

properly after boot to show cpu usage of all tasks in the moment. I don't get what you're trying to say.

Re: CPU usage high for no apparent reason

As I said, running htop or System Monitor doesn't give me any clues, they say that the CPU usage is 100%  but the sum of all usages (on listed active programs, shown in both of them) is about 10-15%
