11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400 @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz CPU Usage

Hello,

I have had the same computer for about 3 years now with no major problems, able to run any game that I wanted to, again without any problems.  However, just a few days ago as I was trying to play Cod BO6 I found that my game was running very poorly.  I opened task manager to see what was going on and saw that my CPU was reaching 100% usage.  This game and all others have just started using 75%+ of my CPU out of the blue.  I have gone through a number of trouble shooting actions to alleviate this, including forcing my games to use my GPU rather than CPU to no success.  I am beginning to wonder if the CPU drivers needed updating so I went throuh device manager to check for driver updates (showed driver date as 4/21/2009)  and saw nothing and checked for windows updates.  As I started looking for updates on Intel I saw an update titled Intel Arc & Iris Xe Graphics - Windows when i search for my CPU.  In my reseach I have seen that downloading the wrong graphics driver can render your computer unusable so truthfully I am afraid to download this without asking.  Does anyone know if this would be ok to download or have any other suggestions on how to fix my issue?  I have attached 3 photos to show my specs and task manager.  Thank you!
