    My laptop temps are high when idle. Why is this happening? I have Acer Predator Helios 300 G3-571 i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16GB RAM.

      Your processor usage does not seem to be idle... check against mine (C0%) when doing low load tasks (not idle) and still are lower than yours. Looks like you have multiple background tasks going on.

      How do I get rid of the background tasks?

      Check what apps/services are running in the task manager that you might not need and disable them
