What you expect on a poor PC; any flash video is going to do that.

I have no problem with internet videos, VLC player, etc. But steam come on. What is it running on? Blueray?

Are you viewing it in Steam Client or from Steam Store inside a web browser?

what you describe is not a problem either and you should get similar cpu usage while watch 1080p youtube and the same with VLC.

do you experience other problems? like stuttering?

CPU usage is irrelevant if the sum of everything you are doing runs fine.
If you have issues with playback or it basically is such a high load it's not allowing anything on the system to load up, etc. Then yea that's a problem, but that's also a problem commonly seen by poor specs.

You're also on the worst WinOS since WinME basically; it's really time to just do a clean install of Win10 64bit.

In processor the html steam randomly spikes. I played from steam store.

Try Steam Store via Web Browser; compare performance with the browsers hardware acceleration on vs off. Off will use pretty much all CPU; On will use both CPU & GPU.

You mean open it from web browser? It still opens "Steam Video Player". how do you play it from web browser?

Just go to the Steam website, like normal... without using the Client at all.

So what do I open it with?
I have added an image on my issue. Anyone else having three of those processors?

Oh it's a Steam Movie and uses the Steam Video Player, my bad.
Yea that can only run inside Steam Client then.

Nothing wrong with Youtube. I can play it fine. What the hell does Steam use? They need to fix this. I watch Youtube all the time especially for walkthrough in games just by shift-tab.

It's still just cause of your PC; even my old 2011 Laptop with an i5 runs that video @ full 1080p just fine, it gets maybe 20% usage the entire time, no skips/stutter
